Miley Cyrus suffers technical problems at Bono's charity show
Miley Cyrus was reportedly lost for words during a performance of U2's One at Bono's charity show on Tuesday (01Dec15) when her teleprompter failed.
The pop singer was among the stars who turned out for the Irish rocker's gala concert in New York City to mark World AIDS Day (01Dec15), performing her own set before returning to the stage for the finale.
Miley teamed up with Bono, his bandmate The Edge, and British pop
star Jessie J for a performance of classic U2 track One, but the
Wrecking Ball star was left unable to join in because the lyrics
were not being properly displayed on a screen in front of her.
The singer turned to Bono and pleaded "You got to help me...
Nothing is there," according to the Associated Press, and the
rocker stepped in to sing the part for her.
During the show, Bono, who co-founded the (RED) organisation in
2006 to raise awareness of the global AIDS battle, told the
audience, "This is a celebration. This is an instigation. This is a
provocation. This is not a charity concert."
He also performed a number of U2 tracks with The Edge, treating the
crowd to renditions of classics including Stuck in a Moment You
Can't Get Out Of and Angels of Harlem, and they teamed up with
Irish singer Hozier to perform When Love Comes to Town.
Hozier also performed his hit Take Me to Church, and Jessie J
covered Prince's Purple Rain.
Other highlights of the night included a spoken-word performance by
The Walking Dead actress Danai Gurira, and speeches by veteran
rocker Sting and former President Bill Clinton.
