U2 Asks Fans To Wear Masks
U2 may have a familiar face looking back at them when their 360 Tour starts. The band is asking fans to pay tribute to Burmese's democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi by wearing a mask featuring her face. The band states via their website, quote, "U2 believe the world must not be allowed to forget Aung San Suu Kyi and every night on the 360 Tour fans are being invited to wear the mask when the band play 'Walk On,' which was written for her. Put it on with thousands of others when Larry [Mullen Jr.] and Edge strike up the opening bars of 'Walk On.'" Fans can download the mask via Adobe Acrobat Reader from the U2 website. Suu Kyi was elected in 1990, but the military junta refused to accept the results. She was placed under house arrest, and has been confined to her home for the past 19 years. |
