Rolling Stone reports that Bono and the Edge of U2 are moving ahead with their contribution to Julie Taymor’s web-slinging musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” which Bono previewed during a brief drive. They were quoted saying Jim is singing, this is closest bit to an actual confirmation we’ve gotten so far.

The first song Bono plays on the Maserati’s more-than-adequate sound system is called “Boy Falls From the Sky,” with Across the Universe star Jim Sturgess singing as Peter Parker. It sounds a lot like a U2 hit, especially when Bono sings along in the car with the line “I used to use a single thread to cross the sky.” “Killer!” he shouts as the song wraps up, and then he plays a choral, operatic segue. When Bono’s assistant calls on his cell, he cuts the conversation short: “We’re in the middle of an opera here!”

Furthermore, Variety recently reported that the musical has confirmed the show’s February 2010 opening at Broadway’s Hilton Theater.
