Some familiar Irish faces made their first-ever appearance on the Ellen couch.

 

U2’s Bono and The Edge joined the American talk show host and while they had a laugh on the famous show, the conversation soon turned serious.

 

Reminiscing about the old school days when they first met, The Edge said when Bono was around, your lunch would soon disappear.

 

 

Bono told me how @U2 saved his life.

"Early on, your lunch was not safe. Bono never had a lunch so he would borrow from other people's," said the 56-year-old. 

 

Bono opened up to Ellen, explaining why he never had lunch and how U2 had saved his life.

 

"I was a bit of a stray dog, my mother died when I was a kid, I was just a scavenger. It’s no joke to say it, nothing drives me crazy about them in any real sense because genuinely they kind of saved my life," said the singer.

 

"I really felt as a teenager, I had no reason to exist until I found them. And they also supplied food and refreshments. I don't know if this is interesting but my missus, Ali, I started dating her the same week I joined U2 and that was a great week."

 

 

It’s a Beautiful Day. @U2

Little did Bono know how successful U2 would become.

 

The group are currently in the midst of their U2 experience and innocence tour.
