U2 will perform a free concert at the Brandenburg Gate to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Irish band along with other artists, including Jay-Z and Joss Stone, will take to the stage there as part of the MTV Europe Music Awards on November 5.

“It’ll be an exciting spot to be in, 20 years almost to the day since the wall came down. Should be fun,” the Telegraph quoted U2’s manager Paul McGuinness as saying. Antonio Campo Dall’Orto, executive producer of the ceremony, said: “We are extremely proud to be bringing U2 to Berlin for this extraordinary performance.

“This year’s awards will be remembered as the night when the world’s major music players came together against the backdrop of the fall of the Berlin Wall to celebrate music, freedom and the birth of a new age in Europe.”

Earlier this year, Kentucky Fried Chicken suffered a public relations nightmare when a free grilled chicken coupon deal turned costly, and the franchise dropped the deal and changed it to a mail-in voucher.

Today, KFC tried a new deal. One day only, customers could come in or go to the drive-thru and order a free one piece grilled chicken.

The offer runs until the restaurants close tonight, and it made a few people happy who took advantage.

"This is awesome. Anytime you can get something free these days, it is awesome," Michelle Harris told WTOC. "No coupons. Just come in and get your chicken."

The response wasn't as large as the earlier meal deal with the coupon, which was featured on "Oprah." The company also had to deal with several phony coupons for the deal which was limited to one coupon per customer.

This deal was coupon free.
