U2's Bono: I Wanted To Throw Up Before Glastonbury 2011 Slot

U2 frontman Bono has admitted he felt “sick with nerves” before the Irish band headlined last weekend's Glastonbury festival in Somerset.

The group topped the bill on the Friday night (June 24) on the Pyramid Stage.

Speaking to the BBC, Bono said: "I wanted to throw up. Whenever you see me giving up a lot of attitude that means I'm terrified.

“I felt like I was going to retch at the side of the stage."

U2's career-spanning performance went ahead despite an attempted protest by a campaign group against the group's alleged tax dodge.
