The Script frontman Danny O'Donoghue has told of how getting drunk in front of U2 star Bono left him feeling embarrassed, particularly so when he fell down a flight of stairs.
Speaking to The Guardian's G2 magazine, Danny said: "The first time I met Bono I was 17 years old and U2's manager was also my manager. I was invited out to this greyhound park that U2 owned. Our guitarist Mark got to sit next to The Edge and I was f**king furious because I wasn't sitting next to anybody.
"Mark spots that I'm drunk and tries to get me to leave. Later on, Bono asks if everyone wants to go to this nightclub he owns called The Kitchen and I was like, F**k, yeah'.
"So listen to this - I turn to wave at the lads, U2, and just as I waved I reached the stairs and I went down the whole flight of stairs on my f**king face. In front of U2. It was the funniest sh*t ever. I was back home in bed by 11.30."
He also revealed that The Script have been experimenting with their sound as of late, stepping out of their comfort zone and venturing into both the rap and reggae genres.
"There was everything in-between. Some hardcore... I'm going to say hardcore rap songs, and then some songs with just the guitar.
"We messed around with a lot of different sounds. What you get on the album is one foot in Ireland with the Irish melodies, but also one foot in the UK and America with the production and where music is going."
New album 'No Sound Without Silence' is released September 12 in Ireland and September 15 in the UK.
