Did Foster the People's Mark Foster Co-Write Spider-Man's 'Rise Above' with Bono and The Edge?

Did U2 rockers Bono and The Edge collaborate with Foster the People's Mark Foster to write the Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark anthem "Rise Above"? Foster claims he had a hand in crafting the catchy number that encapsulates the show's theme.

"I just wrote a song with Bono that's for the Spider-Man musical!" Foster told Spinner.com. "I was in the studio with a producer called Alex the Kid and we were just songwriting together. We worked on this tune and it turned out it was a Bono/The Edge song that I wrote the verses for."

Foster says he has not met the U2 rockers and that a deal for the song was struck over the Internet. His schedule has prevented him from catching the recently opened Broadway show.

Foster the People released their first full album, Torches, earlier this spring on Columbia Records. Recently named a "You Oughta Know" artist by VH1, the band is currently touring the country and will play at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago this August. Foster the People will return to New York City on September 27 for a concert at Terminal 5.
