U2's Bono Hitchhikes Lift With Canadian Ice Hockey Star

U2 frontman Bono hitchhiked a lift with a Canadian ice hockey star after he got caught in a rain shower.

The singer and his assistant were out walking when they got caught in a torrential downpour in Vancouver on Tuesday (June 1).

Edmonter Oilers player Gilbert Brule and his girlfriend happened to be driving past when they saw Bono signaling for a lift.

Kelsey Nichols told CTV she didn’t believe Brule when he said it was Bono, but eventually devided to turn around and pick up the pair.

Speaking at a U2 concert in Edmonton on Wednesday, Bono told the crowd: "I like ice hockey, because people who play ice hockey are the kind of people who pick up hitchhikers. I know this from personal experience."

Brule was invited to the gig and said he was honoured by Bono’s tribute.
