Video: Jimmy Fallon joins U2 on stage at Madison Square Garden

There's a new rock star in town

JOE

There’s a new rock star in town.

Jimmy Fallon was invited on stage at Madison Square Garden to sing ‘Desire’ with Bono and the lads and he did a pretty good job.

The American presenter held up a sign at the show saying ‘singer with broken finger’ begging to be picked by the band and it worked.

Jimmy got to join the boys on stage for a full song, with Bono videoing him on a phone that was being streamed live onto a big screen.

The part-time musician had a great time getting into the music, even completing a Bono impression on stage, which was filmed by Bono himself.

We don’t have the original footage but here is some footage from the crowds; it looks like everyone had a great night.
