Jay-Z Appearing On U2's "Duals" Album

A Jay-Z-assisted version of U2's classic "Sunday Bloody Sunday" will be appearing on the band's upcoming collaborations album Duals. The rapper toured with the Irish megastars last summer and performed a new, original verse to the political song.

A live performance of the song and a new mix of "Stranded" with both Jay-Z and Rihanna will also appear on the album's limited editions.

"Sunday Bloody Sunday" was released in 1983, and focuses on the "Bloody Sunday" massacre in 1972 when unarmed protesters were shot and killed by British soldiers in Derry, Ireland.
