AceShowbiz - U2 dedicated the song they wrote after pal Michael Hutchence hanged himself to chef and TV travel show presenter Anthony Bourdain during their Apollo Theater show in New York on Monday night (June 11).

Bono also addressed the deaths of designer Kate Spade and a handful of celebrities in the last year at the invitation-only show.

"Music lost some great people who gave up on their own life, and that makes it kinda harder. Fashion and now this great storyteller (Bourdain), who I'm sure had stories he couldn't tell us," the Irishman said.
