Irish rock band U2 has released a surprise six-track EP titled Days of Ash, with its opening song “American Obituary” serving as a tribute to Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis mother of three who was fatally shot by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent last month.
The EP, released on Ash Wednesday, marks the band’s first major collection of new songs since 2017 and reflects what frontman Bono described as an urgent response to current events and people “fighting on the front lines of freedom.”
