Wins five Grammy Awards

In February 2006, U2 received five additional Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year for “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own”, and Best Rock Album and Album of the Year for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb ; the awards made the album and its singles winners in all eight categories in which U2 were nominated, spanning two separate Grammy ceremonies. The group resumed the Vertigo Tour that month with a Latin American leg, on which several shows were filmed for the concert film U2 3D . It was released in theatres nearly two years later, and was the world’s first live-action digital 3D film . In March, the band postponed the tour’s remaining shows until the end of the year due to the health of the Edge’s daughter. On 25 September 2006, U2 and Green Day performed at the Louisiana Superdome prior to an NFL football game, the New Orleans Saints ‘ first home game in the city since Hurricane Katrina . The two bands covered the Skids ‘ song ” The Saints Are Coming ” during the performance and for a benefit single , which reached number one in Australia and throughout Europe. U2 issued an official autobiography, U2 by U2 , that month, followed in November by their third compilation album, U218 Singles . The Vertigo Tour concluded in December, having sold 4.6 million tickets and having earned US$389 million , the second-highest gross ever at the time.
