A Single....

Here's a single question - Connect........

A famous song by a very famous band 'X' features a chorus sung (or rather chanted) by a large number of people who were fans of 'Y', attending a stadium where Y 'performed'.

The song sung by the chorus is called 'Z' , which is the anthem of 'Y'........
