U2’s The Edge Just Fell Off The Edge Of A Stage Because All Is Right With The World Today
It's a beautiful day.
I don’t care if you’re hungover. I don’t care if you have to spend all day studying or working a horrendous double-shift at a job you hate. Last night, during his first show of a worldwide tour, U2’s lead guitarist David Howell Evans AKA The Edge gloriously toppled from the edge of the stage. So, today, we are all truly, truly blessed.
Watch as he ethereally drifts towards his eponymous fate during ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’:
Spot the grin on the security guard’s face as he runs to help the rock icon who stepped onto open air as if it were water for him to walk on:
Appreciate Bono’s fortitude as he belts out another line from the song, because he stiiiiiiiiill hasn’t found what he’s looking for:
This is probably an important time to tell you the 53-year-old man who suffered the fall is fine.
He will however be facing about six months of jokes about it which, frankly, I’m okay with.
Didn't The Edge see the David Howell Evans of the stage?

The Edge should get a new nickname: The Guy Who Falls Off Stages! < best joke about the subject

The Edge didn't fall off stage, he was just 'downloaded onto the audience without their permission'.

Here’s a more inspiring soundtrack for when you inevitably re-watch the clips. Today is truly a beautiful day.
