Bono has reportedly rescued the cash-strapped 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' Broadway musical by arranging financing to keep the show afloat.
The U2 frontman and the band's guitarist The Edge penned the music to accompany the Broadway performance, which was announced to much fanfare last year.
New York Post columnist Michael Riedel wrote: "Bono's too smart to put his own money in the show, but word on the street is that he's tapped into his vast network of rich friends and business associates to restart production.
"Bono feeds half of Africa. So raising a few more million for Spider-Man shouldn't be too difficult."
Development of the production is believed to have cost around €31M so far, but work on the musical was put on hold last month amid rumours of financial troubles.
Bosses were forced to issue a statement denying that the show had been scrapped altogether, after reports that crew and cast members, including lead Evan Rachel wood, had been released from their contracts.
