That link, didn't work, here's the short article... Pro Bono: singer gets his hat back After a hotly contested battle in Dublin's High Court, the U2 frontman has won the right to get his cowboy hat back Paul MacInnes and agencies Wednesday November 15, 2006 Guardian Unlimited After a hotly contested battle in Dublin's High Court, U2 have finally won the right to get their cowboy hat back. The biggest band in the world etc today won a suit brought against their former stylist, Lola Cashman, over claims she had stolen clothing and other items from the band as long ago as 1987. Ms Cashman had always claimed the items, "which included one of Bono's trademark Stetsons" were a gift from the band. This claim was refuted by the band who demanded that the items be returned after she put them up for auction at Christies in 2002. The items, valued at a total of €5,000 (£3,400) included a pair of metal hooped earings, a green sweatshirt and a pair of black trousers, though the hat became the centre of the case. Ms Cashman claimed that she had asked Bono if she could have the Stetson while backstage at the end of the massively successful Joshua Tree tour. The singer, who she claimed was in his underwear at the time, then 'plonked' it on her head. The singer refuted her version of events when he appeared before the court last month. Ms Cashman must now return the items to the band. | ||
