Bono appears at The New Yorker Festival to promote his new book Surrender. He is in conversation with The New Yorker editor, David Remnick in a presentation titled “A Life in Songs”. Bono performed a three song set to open the performance with Kate Ellis on cello and Jacknife Lee on drums and keyboards. The show opened with “Vertigo” and then included “With or Without You” and “City of Blinding Lights.”

The performance was accompanied by images from the book on screen behind the performers. He also read a passage about Ali, and their first home together.
