<p>The frontman and activist, who addressed Turin’s packed Pala Alpitour in Italy on a number of occasions, said he did not have the answers to the refugee crisis but added that we “must work together” to find the solution.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/image58.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/image58.jpg" alt="Bono, U2 concert" width="600" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79251" /></a></p>
<p>The image of a young Syrian boy washed ashore in Turkey earlier this week sparked outrage and calls for governments throughout Europe to do more to help the tens of thousands of refugees.</p>
<p>Bono made reference to the shocking incident by changing the lyrics in Pride (In the Name of Love) to: “One boy washed up on an empty beach.”</p>
<p>In a set that included more than two dozen of the band’s songs and at one point featured a screen showing footage of refugees, Bono said: “There is a lot of heartache in the world, but there is so much joy in here this evening.</p>
<p>“Thank you, thank you, thank you. It’s incredible.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/image56.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/image56.jpg" alt="U2 concert" width="600" height="399" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79249" /></a></p>
<p>“Watching the news, ordinary people – all of us – seem capable of such great evil and such great love.</p>
<p>“I don’t know the answer to the refugee crisis in Europe and Africa but I know we must work together to find an answer to the refugee crisis in Europe and Africa.”</p>
<p>He added: “As Nelson Mandela said ‘It always seems impossible until it is done’.”</p>
<p>Bono asked the crowd: “What do you want? A Europe with its heart and borders closed to mercy? Or a Europe with its heart open?”</p>
<p>During the concert Bono also made reference to a future where no babies are born with HIV.</p>
<p>“If you tell your leaders this is important to you it will be important to them,” he said.</p>
<p>The set included tracks such as Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky and Beautiful Day. U2 will play a string of nights at The O2 in London before finishing the Innocence and Experience tour in Paris on November 15.</p>
