Blige on the latter song.At the event, US President Joe Biden thanked U2 for “the way you uplift people”.Biden went on to quote lyrics from ‘One’ saying: “At a moment we would do well to remember when there is too much hate, too much division and too much anger in America and, quite frankly, around the world, as [U2’s] song goes: ‘We are one, we are not the same, we get to carry each other.’”U2 was honored with a lifetime achievement award at the ceremony, which will air on CBS Dec. 28th.
