U2’s tribute to David Bowie

 

“When I Live My Dream…”

 

Bono and the boys have nodded in Bowie’s direction a few times over the years, the latest being a dedication on their new album, Songs Of Experience:

 

“This album is dedicated to the lives and times of Dennis Sheehan, Jack Heaslip and the teenage dreams of David Bowie.”

 

A sweet thing to do and the perfect excuse to post a previously unpublished picture of Bowie and Bono backstage at Bowie’s Meltdown in June 2002.

 

Our reporter on the spot on the night reckons that Bono was probably whispering a ‘Knock Knock’ joke to Bowie that included the line: “Europe who?”. It’s possible.
