"Bono and Freddie funny incident!
By the time Live Aid rolled around in 1985, Freddie was 38 and most people in the industry knew he was gay. Even so, Bono (24 years old that time) was rather taken aback when Freddie flirtatiously hustled him up against a wall backstage "like he was chatting up a chick." Despite being two of the biggest stars in the world they had never met before.
When Freddie Mercury flirted with Bono, he apparently was unaware that the Queen singer was gay.
U2 frontman Bono was backstage at Wembley Stadium with his wife Ali Stewart, when the hilarious encounter occurred.
Bono recalled: "I was walking with Ali and Freddie Mercury pulled me aside and said: ‘Oh, Bo-No….is it Bo-No or Bon-O?’ I told him, ‘It’s Bon-O’. He said, ‘Come over here with me.
"I was up against a wall and he put his hand on the wall and was talking to me like he was chatting up a chick. He had me laughing but I was shifting nervously at the time, with Ali and myself exchanging glances."
Bono added: "I thought, ‘Wow, this guy’s really camp.’ I was telling somebody later and he said: ‘You’re surprised? They’re called Queen!’ But I was really amazed. It hadn’t dawned on me.”
