U2 dedicated a rendition of "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" to the late Anthony Bourdain in New York last night (June 11).
The Irish band were performing as part of an exclusive Sirius XM event at the Apollo Theater, and speaking to the invite-only crowd, Bono paid tribute to a handful of high-profile artists who recently died by suicide.
According to the Associated Press, he referred to people in music and fashion who had recently "gave up on their own life."
"And now this great storyteller, who I'm sure has stories he couldn't tell us," the frontman continued. "So for Anthony Bourdain, and his friends and family this is a song inspired by a great, great, great friend of ours. His name is Michael Hutchence."
The band then launched into "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of," which was originally penned after INXS singer Hutchence died in 1997.
