Irish rockstar Bono was among scores of people police escorted to safety after the deadly Bastille Day attack along the Nice promenade, according to a French report.
The U2 frontman was dining at the posh La Petite Maison restaurant in Nice as throngs of terrified people poured into side streets near Place Massena while fleeing the besieged Promenade des Anglais, restaurant co-owner Anne-Laure Rubi told the La Parisienne magazine.
Bono along with celebrity chef Alain Ducasse took shelter from the popular eaterys terrace after Mohamed Bouhlel plowed through the promenade with an 18-ton refrigeration truck.

So.... a diner at a restaurant left his outdoor table and headed inside when there was a violent disturbance in the street.
How is the fact that the diner is a famous person relevant?
I smell a hit single from U2. Probably not even an original. Just a cover song.
and?
The song Sunday Bloody Sunday.
He’s rich. Do you expect him to go into a grotty fast food joint?
How about the rest of the peeps inside who are not famous?
Could it be that all Islam wants is to torture U2 to death on camera, then they’ll be done?
It’s worth a shot.
Bono needs to put up or be shut up in an ISIS torture chamber full of power tools.
When a bad thing almost happens to someone who is really, really, really great the world must pay homage.
Sometimes, U2 wouldn’t sing that song in concert, and it made Howie Long angry. He’d get them in a headlock and force the issue. Bono would sob, “How Long! How Long, must we sing this song?!”
Howie Long is known to have given and received a few Sunday Bloody Sundays.
LOL
How about “Stuck in a Terrorist Attack I Can’t Get Out Of”
So his life was important compared to those mowed over in the street?
Well, yeah: “Bono says he has no problem stashing a big chunk of U2’s millions in offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes in Ireland...”
Will I regret looking that up on Urban Dictionary?
Always after his Lucky Charms.
Run and hide!
Throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care
Run and shout
Cry and pout
Not me I’m rich!!!
Cry’s the wealthy whiner!!!
It’s ironic that open borders / one world Bono is hiding like a p*ssy in a restaurant as the Muslims he’s enabled murder outside. Then he had to wait for police to rescue him.
Perhaps he will reconsider Muslim invasion, er, migration.
Howie Long the football player was badass on the field. Wouldn’t be surprised if he drew lots of blood against his opponents on any given sunday.
