Bono Defies Security for NRJ Music Awards

U2 frontman BONO defied security in Cannes, France last night (22JAN05) to get to the NRJ MUSIC AWARDS ceremony on time.

The VERTIGO star was late for the ceremony at the Riviera city's Palais des Festival due to the bad traffic and horrified his bodyguards by jumping out of the car and crossing the crowds to approach the red carpet.

One security guard says, "It could have been very dangerous for him to walk freely through the crowd without any bodyguards.

"Happily nobody was expecting him in the crowd, and he managed to reach the ceremony safely. It's very unusual and very risky for a star like Bono to act that way, but I guess his fans were more than happy to meet him that way."

Bono went on to pick up the Special Achievement Award for his charity work.

In French, Bono told the crowds, "I'm not from this country but I'll make a little confession to you - it's at the Cote d'Azur I feel at home."

Considering this is from contactmusic, I'd take it with a grain of salt...but if that's the truth, awesome! The B-man rules as usual.
 
He's the best - when he arrived to Musicares, in NYC he got out of the car went to the opposite side of the street (to the crowd) and did a short version of "I'm singing in the rain!" The police went nuts:wink: but they had a laugh!
