U2’s residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas has been attracting fans from all over the world, and quite a few celebrities as well.
On Saturday night, a trio of A-Listers were spotted at the brand new venue just off the Las Vegas Strip, where Bono paid tribute to the ‘beautiful kids’ killed at the Israeli music festival.
Tom Hanks, 67, and Rita Wilson, 66, were captured on a fan’s video shaking their booties to the Irish rockers’ hit song It’s a Beautiful Day, per TMZ.
When the chorus came along, the power couple dancing and sang enthusiastically.
Nearby Ed Sheeran, 32, was clearly enjoying the show, which covers the rock band’s 1991 album Achtung Baby.
The Forest Gump star even took time out of jamming to the songs to wave at a nearby fan.
U2 signed on to open the $2.3 billion state-of-the-art concert venue with a three month residency that opened in September and has been extended until March.
Tom, Rita and Ed are just the latest Hollywood hotshots to take in the out-of-this-world performance.
Paul McCartney, Adam Scott, Snoop Dogg, Ava DuVernay, Matt Damon, Bryan Cranston, Chelsea Clinton, Mario Lopez, Dakota Fanning, Darren Aronofsky, Diplo and Dr. Dre have all attended a Sphere show over the last few weeks.
When McCartney took in Bono’s performance he gave the former Beatle a shout-out and played snippets of Love Me Do, Blackbird and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
He also compared Sir Paul to Mozart and Brahms: ‘Just know that we love you . . . and we’ve stolen a lot of your songs,’ he said.
Other stars who’ve gone to The Sphere include Elizabeth Banks, Flava Flav, Gayle King, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Bateman, Jeff Bezos, Jimmy Iovine, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Hamm, Josh Duhamel, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Lebron James, Luke Wilson, Oprah, Orlando Bloom and Oscar De La Hoya.
