Right in the middle of the glittering entertainment capital of the world. But there’s just one hitch: they first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star (played by Bono, U2), to join them. What begins as a dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken of hearts.
Sing 2 combines dozens of classic rock and pop hit songs, electrifying performances, breathtaking artistry and Illumination’s signature humour in this definitive feel-good cinematic event.
