U2 show in Nashville is blind guitarist's dream come true

Contributed by , Wednesday July 6th, 2011

Lots of fans bring signs to concerts. A recent show in Nashville, TN was no different.

Adam Bevell's brother-in-law had a hastily sketched out one that read "BLIND GUITAR PLAYER. BRING ME UP!"

So that's just what Bono did towards the end of the show. The crowd lifted Adam onstage and Bono lead him over to a guitar.

"I kept on saying 'there's no way this is happening,'" Bevell told Fox News. "But I also kept saying, 'thank you.'"

The guitar was strapped onto him and Adam chose to play his and his wife's wedding song, "All I Want Is You," while Bono sang along.

At the end of the song Adam tried to hand back the guitar but Bono wouldn't take it, saying simply "I want you to have my guitar."

Adam later said he was overwhelmed.

"You could just feel his kindness," he said. "It was an out-of-body experience. It was the greatest feeling."
