U2 singer Bono and guitarist the Edge recently released a video of them covering ABBA’s classic “S.O.S.” with a string section, which is part of a show to celebrate their new album Songs of Surrender. Bono discussed how he was a fan of ABBA in his teenage years, even though punk rock was popular at the time. He also talked about the concept of ‘intimacy is the new punk rock’, and how vulnerable music can be the most dangerous. The video can be seen below.
