// U2 and Corrs duet for new film
U2's Bono and The Edge have performed a "haunting, romantic" duet with fellow Irish singer Andrea Corr for the soundtrack to a new movie by German director Wim Wenders.
The Corrs' lead singer said she was delighted to have performed the collaboration for the new film 'Don't Come Knocking'.
She said: "The Edge rang me and left a message to say that he and Bono had written a song for the Wim Wenders film but had realised they had written a duet and needed me to sing it. It's a beautiful song. It's really romantic, quite heartbreaking. "
The song was recorded at the Wisseloord Studios in The Netherlands, inbetween the three 'Vertigo' tour concerts U2 gave in Amsterdam (July 2005).

// U2 on Conan O'Brien TV Show
For the first time in the program's history, the entire hour of NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" tomorrow (October 6) will be devoted to just one guest: U2.
The appearance coincides with U2's seven-night run at Madison Square Garden. The band is expected to perform multiple songs and chat with host O'Brien during the show.
In the past, "Late Night" has had The White Stripes play on consecutive nights, and did a month of Tuesdays with the Strokes, but it has never focused an entire show on one band.
