ROCK star Bono has won a High Court battle to get his iconic cowboy hat back from his former stylist.
The singer and his band U2 today won their case at Ireland’s High Court against Lola Cashman forcing her to hand over a cowboy hat and clothes she took from them in the late 1980s.
But after a lengthy and costly legal fight with the rockers the judge in Dublin ruled that on the balance of probability the items were not given to her.
Ms Cashman says she was given the hat and other memorabilia as gifts during U2’s Joshua Tree tour in 1987.
But last year, the band successfully sued for the recovery of the hat, a pair of metal hooped earrings, a green sweatshirt and a pair of black trousers, which they said she took without permission.
The stylist was ordered to return the items, estimated to be worth £3,500 within seven days.
What a hypocritical ballbag Bono is; yapping because an ex-sylist steals his hat, then telling us that we better buy his Red iPod, or we’re a bunch of selfish feckers.
