U2 The singer said that a combination of a wet stage and the wrong choice of footwear were to blame for the uninspired set.
U2’s Bono has claimed that the band’s Glastonbury performance bombed because he was wearing the wrong shoes. Well that’s a new one.
Bono spoke to Q magazine about how the rain on the stage and his choice of footwear were the main reason why the show was not one of the groups’ most impressive.
“There were a couple of things,” he said. “There was a DJ under the stage playing the music between sets and he bumped our keyboard computer. So we lost all the keyboards. I walked out and realised the stage was like an ice rink and I was wearing the wrong shoes. I couldn’t move and was stuck to the spot.”
Not an excuse you hear everyday you have to admit.
