During one of the shows in Brussels, Bono exclaimed that “this tour is run by Belgians” because there are so many Belgians on the crew. But it wasn’t just people; the stage was also made by a Belgian company. Now it turns out Larry has added something less visible to that mix: orthopedic insoles.
According to a local Belgian newspaper, he went to a specialized shop in Belgium last May to get custom-made insoles. Apparently, Larry’s back was troubling him so his physiotherapist advised him to take a trip to the Runners Service Lab, in a small Belgian town.
The plan was to get Larry there in secret while the shop was closed, but he arrived a bit late, so in the end several other customers were present. But, luckily for him, nobody recognized him and afterwards, he left the store a happy man.
With Larry’s history of back problems, let’s hope this measure worked out for him.
Thanks to Philip and Christel for the tip!
