did the vertigo tour mark the start of the "fat bono" era?

[U2Man]

clearly, he was heavier than ever.

 

[Anji]

clearly, he was heavier than ever.

More to grab hold of

so what he's a bit heavier?

 

[vaz02]

His clothes were tighter than the previous tour.

Fat era ? na.

 

[Liesje]

Heavier than usual I guess, but I think he was heavier circa 2002, at least he seemed larger when I met him then than when I met him early on in the Vertigo Tour.

 

[susanp6]

I think Bono always gets fit for the shows!

 

[Caroni]

^ Nah, he gets fit WITH the shows

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

Yeah, that scared me a little.

 

[susanp6]

^ Nah, he gets fit WITH the shows

oh yes - absolutely Caroni

 

[popacrobat]

wasnt he fat in the middle and towards the end of zoo tv?

 

[U2girl]

Yep. And the druggie. And the cheater.

 

[U2Man]

this is a serious thread.

 

[JCOSTER]

I can assure you he is no where near FAT.

 

[Galeongirl]

he's not fat... yes he gained weight, but fat is a very big exaggeration...

and Down under you could see he lost some of it already, his tshirts fitted him again

 

[U2Man]

thats why it might only mark the start of the fat bono era.

 

[Val]

Is this a serious thread?

I'm embarrassed for anyone who gets called fat. I'm banning myself from this thread.

GG, are you rolling your eyes at me?

 

[Galeongirl]

GG, are you rolling your eyes at me?

No, at this thread...

 

[JCOSTER]

Phew ! I thought it was me!

 

[U2Man]

phew, and i thought it was me too.

 

[Galeongirl]

phew, and i thought it was me too.

I'll always roll my eyes at you


So, when are you and Zoot getting your 'new thread' buttons disabled?

 

[biff]

Here's a pic from 1990. He's definitely heavier in this than he was on the Vertigo tour. His weight obviously fluctuates. Maybe is hormonal.

 

[JCOSTER]

Maybe its emotional overeating from all the nit picking about his weight!

 

[Chizip]

dont worry he'll get lipo to get back to his normal weight

 

[Carmelu2fan]

Bono do'nt need no stinkin lipo

 

[misterboo]

I heard on Holy Moly (dubious source, I know) that some of the crew had given him the nickname Mrs Doubtfire, because of his increasing resemblance to Robin Williams!

 

[kimby]

Bono do'nt need no stinkin lipo

Chizip is just being silly...

 

[xaviMF22]

yea he gained some weight....and he is definitely going bald

 

[U2Man]

stupid anti-u2 comments from radiohead fans

 

[xaviMF22]
