Edmonton Oilers centre Gilbert Brule found himself in an interesting situation during the week, spotting U2 frontman Bono hitchhiking along a West Vancouver road.
The NHL star spotted the prominent Irish musician while driving with his girlfriend Kelsey Nichols. USA Today reports that Bono and his assistant were left stranded on the roadside after getting caught in the rain.
"The U2 frontman and his assistant were walking in West Vancouver on Tuesday when they got caught in the rain. Brule and his girlfriend, Kelsey Nichols, were driving to a park to walk Bella, their German shepherd. Nichols, who was driving, didn't believe Brule at first when he spotted Bono by the side of the road, so she kept driving. The couple went a short distance until Brule convinced Nichols to turn around. Eventually, she agreed," USA Today writes.
As a form of gratitude, Bono gave Brule and his girlfriend tickets to U2's Edmonton performance.
