U2's extended residency at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas is finally at an end, with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl among the invited guests watching on as the Dubliners dropped the curtain on their hugely successful Sin City run on Saturday night (March 2). And as far as we can tell, no-one in the purpose-built arena had a better time on the night than Dave Grohl.
Grohl's friendship with U2 goes back a long way. On March 23, 1992, Nirvana's then-drummer attended the band's Zoo TV tour show at the Montreal Forum, and popped backstage to hang out with the Irish band's support act, Pixies. According to a 1992 Spin magazine feature, Grohl was then taken aside by Bono, who spent "an hour lecturing him on the evils of success."
