Bono bought the hat a first class ticket, refusing to allow the chance of it being ruined by other luggage. The flight attendants were still concerned, so the hat ended up sitting up in the cockpit beside the jet’s captain for the duration of the ride.The ticket ran Bono an additional £1,000, but the star reportedly would not have performed had the hat not been there.
