Get this - Bono has splashed out a grand to fly his hat to Italy. The U2 singer forgot his favourite hat for Pavarotti's charity event in Modena and spent £1,000 to have the trilby flown over first class. A cab took the hat to Gatwick from West London, (£100); stewards then put it on the 13.40 BA flight to Bologna, (£442). Even though it had its own first class seat, flight attendants were concerned it would go missing or get squashed so they moved it into the cockpit, and finally a hired driver sped to Modena (£150). "Including £200 insurance and tips, he spent about £1,000 flying it out," an insider told the Sun, "but that's nothing compared to the amount he'll have raised on the night."
