"U2 have brought their record-breaking &amp;#039;360&amp;#039; tour to a close in Canada after two years.  The band celebrated the end of their $736m (\u00C2\u00A3447m)-grossing jaunt before a crowd of 75,000 at Moncton, New Brunswick on Saturday.  &amp;#039;360&amp;#039; was named the highest-grossing tour ever back in April, overtaking the $558m (\u00C2\u00A3340m) tally set by the Rolling Stones in 2007.  Before taking their final bow, U2 frontman Bono sprayed champagne across the front rows of the audience and declared: &amp;quot;This is the best time we could be having anywhere.&amp;quot; In addition to performing some of their more notable hits such as &amp;#039;Beautiful Day&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Sunday Bloody Sunday&amp;#039; at the date, U2 included their cover of folk song &amp;#039;The Ballad Of Springhill&amp;#039; in honour of the nearby town devastated by a string of mining disasters over the last two centuries. The song was originally performed by the band at fifteen shows on their &amp;#039;Joshua Tree&amp;#039; tour in 1987.  U2 have played for over seven million fans in 30 countries since launching the &amp;#039;360&amp;#039; tour in June 2009.  The success of the concert series saw the band top this year&amp;#039;s Forbes music rich list ahead of Bon Jovi, Elton John and Lady GaGa.  &amp;gt; U2 working on &amp;quot;futuristic&amp;quot; album Watch U2 perform &amp;#039;Sunday Bloody Sunday&amp;#039; at a &amp;#039;360&amp;#039; tour date in Canada last month below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
