He sang One to his father, apparently. They showed photos and other things Anton did for the band, and when the image of his father appeared, Bono turned around. He sang to the images of his own da for about a minute.



Love how Bono pronounces Brood so badly wrong.

That's touching

LOVED the version of One, even if we only have the rehearsals.

Played Viva la Vida on piano with the Dutch Metropole Orchestra.

Thank God he did his own stuff and didn't perform with Bono.

 

[Galeongirl]

Agreed. I'm glad they didn't perform together.

 

[Only U2]

You Dutch too?

Yes, just 45 km from Bono today....faraway so very close!

OMG he really could read the phonebook and I will love to listen to him.....that voice...

 

[Galeongirl]

Cool. Come visit the Dutch thread sometimes!


I was only 25k from where he was. I was tempted to go, but we didn't know the exact time and tickets weren't for sale.. Security was brutal apparently, because Maxima was there. So it would've been for nothing I guess. Still can't find any news clips!

 

[loner]

Agreed. I'm glad they didn't perform together.
