U2 lead singer Bono, Pharrell Williams, Halsey, Bobby Cannavale, Letitia Wright, Eric Andre, and Chelsea Peretti have been added to the sequel. Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johannsson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, and Nick Kroll will be reprising their roles in the film.

This marks Bono’s first time voicing a character and singing in an animated film. Williams previously worked with Illumination with his tune “Happy” appearing in the soundtrack of Despicable Me 2.

In Sing 2, Buster Moon (McConaughey) and his cast go beyond the local theater and try to perform at The Crystal Tower Theater, which is the most prestigious venue in the entertainment world. To get there they’ll have to impress entertainment mogul Jimmy Crystal (Cannavale). Crystal will let them perform if Buster can convince the world’s most reclusive rock legend, lion Clay Calloway (Bono) out of self-imposed seclusion and get him to perform in the show.

Williams will play Alfonso, an elephant ice-cream truck owner, Halsey will play Jimmy Crystal’s teenage daughter, Porsche, Wright will play a feline dancer, Andre will play a self-important yak, and Peretti will play Jimmy Crystal’s canine assistant and talent scout.

Sing 2 is set for a December 22, 2021 release.

The rock icon received the medal in recognition of his work to help fight poverty and preventable diseases like HIV. He was presented the award by the former president himself.

Bono’s relationship with Bush started back in 2002 when he lobbied the former president at the White House to lend financial support to a group of humanitarian organisations that would help provide financial aid to poorer countries and actively help stem the AIDS crisis.

“It’s a huge honour to [win] this award, and I’m here to honour your leadership on the greatest health intervention in the history of medicine,” Bono said to Bush.

Congratulations, Bono!
