U2 performed the song from Spider-Man musical for the first timeU2 have performed the song Boy Falls From The Sky from their upcoming musical about Spider-Man for the first time ever. The band debuted the track during its recent concert in Portugal, which ended European leg of its tour in support of the No Line On The Horizon album.

The song Boy Falls From The Sky was unveiled in September – it was performed on Good Morning America show by actor Reeve Carney, who is set to portray the main hero.

Speaking about the musical and Reeve Carney, U2 frontman Bono said: "This is like the old man giving the keys to the new convertible to the young kid, and knowing that he would drive it a lot faster than I would but hoping he gets home safe. It's quite a moment".

The band's guitarist The Edge added: "One of the great things about this casting is that we've got Reeve, who's this amazing singer but we've also brought in his band. So we've got the sound of a real authentic rock and roll band performing at the show, which for us being a band, is great".

The musical, named Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, is staged on Broadway. It is set to debut on December 21, with all music and lyrics written by U2's Bono and The Edge.
