Soloists U2’s Bono, 50-year old had to go for medical care during a concert in the Russian capital. Musician desperately rode in the pouring rain, as if forgetting transferred in May of spinal surgery that no one else, and thoughts do not arise about what flour is experiencing an actor. However, in the breaks between songs, Bono came down from the stage, where the wings waiting for his personal physician with the previously prepared a syringe with analgesics.
– Bono, so ran around the stage as if no operations and was not, but to end of the performance he appeared in great pain in his back and his personal physician recommended an injection to get rid of the pain – told Life Showbiz concert organizers.

Output Bono was delayed by 15 minutes. Many fans who had previously made their way closer to the stage and fell into a swoon with emotion, without waiting for their idol.
In 2009, U2 approached NASA (America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration) with the idea of incorporating dialogue between the band and the crew aboard the International Space Station into concerts on the U2 360° Tour.
The astronauts from Expedition 20, the crew on the space station at that time (no doubt a thrill-seeking group themselves), agreed and a partnership was born.
Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for Space Operations, said, "Working with U2 is atypical for NASA.
"By combining their world tour with the space station's out-of-this-world mission, more people - and different people than our normal target audiences - learned about the International Space Station and the important work we are doing in orbit."
To commemorate their collaboration, the Irish rockers created a video and presented it to NASA. Jointly, the space organization and U2 have just released the video to the public here.
