U2 have posted a message of condolence and celebration for the late singer Prince.

The Irish rockers have posted the lyrics to Prince's track 'The Cross', taken from his exceptional 1987 album Sign 'O' The Times. Irish rock aficionados will recall that Bono sang 'The Cross' with Prince at the extraordinary post-Point Depot jam, which took place at Dublin's POD venue, in 1995.

I never met Mozart, I never met Duke Ellington or Charlie Parker I never met Elvis But I met Prince - Bono
