'U2' Returns With Political EP After Nearly A Decade

Irish rock band 'U2' has made a powerful comeback with its first new music in nearly a decade, releasing the six-song EP “U2 – Days of Ash.” The opening track, “American Obituary,” is dedicated to Renee Good, a Minnesota mother who was fatally shot during a confrontation with a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on January 7. The band says the project is inspired by current global tensions and aims to send a strong message of peace, with songs referencing conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the ongoing immigration debate in the United States.
