He later surprised fans by bringing out Noel and Mike Hogan of The Cranberries to perform the 1994 classic ‘Zombie’ – and you can find footage of the moment below.

It’s the second time he’s done a Cranberries crossover.

Back in March, the singer played the final night of his ‘The Late Nights & Young Romance Tour’ at Dublin’s 3Arena, and brought out Mike and Noel to mark the occasion .

They joined him on stage for a rendition of their 1993 classic hit, ‘Linger’, prompting fans to joke that the American singer had “earned his Irish passport”.
