Canadian Billionaire Guy Laliberte checked into the U2 Tampa, Florida show last night from outer space.
The Cirque du Soliel founder was aboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. He paid $35 million for his ticket.Laliberte “phoned home” to Bono during U2’s show in Tampa. 'I see stars, I see darkness and emptiness.' he told Bono. 'But planet Earth looks so great, and also so fragile. We should not forget that we have a great privilege to live on planet Earth.'
‘Elevation’ seemed the appropriate song for U2 to follow up the call with.
Here is the U2 setlist from last night’s Tampa show:
