The US Leg of the Popmart tour came to an end in Seattle, Washington. As the story goes, Bono had been inspired by the “spirit” (tequila if memory serves me correctly) while in Vancouver a few nights before to do a reverse mohawk, which didn’t look too good. (Let’s face it - even the mullet probably looked better on Bono than a reverse mohawk.)

So, to make peace with his hairstyle, the rest of it came off. Fans in Seattle were shocked to see a bald Bono. For those of us who were there, we couldn’t believe it when fans who saw the show in Vancouver warned us about the new look Bono had. Nice to see that 9 years later, his good friend Gavin Friday has now taken up the shaved head look too.
