The U2 frontman and bandmate The Edge are in talks to perform on the finale of American Idol.

According to reports Bono thinks the ‘American Idol’ stage is the perfect platform to showcase some of their songs from the Broadway musical ‘Spiderman: Turn The Dark Off'. Bono is also negotiating for the play's stars to join him on stage.

An ‘American Idol’ insider revealed to Page Six: "They are talking to Fox about how it would work. Ideally, Bono and The Edge would perform and be joined onstage by the 'Spider-Man' cast. If everyone agrees, with millions watching, it could be great for the production."

During rehearsals and preview shows of the Spiderman musical several of the cast members have been severely injured. Initial reviews of the show saw it panned by the critics. But with tweaks made to the production Bono and co are hoping it will be a roaring success when it officially opens next month.
