Bono displays his new copper tinted locks as he joins Yoko Ono at unveiling of tapestry honoring John Lennon
He usually sports darker locks but on Wednesday U2's Bono showed off a decidedly different hair colour.
For as the rocker teamed and his bandmate The Edge teamed up with Yoko Ono to unveil a tapestry honoring her late husband John Lennon, Bono's hair looked almost ginger.
Fans could be forgiven for doing a double take at the 55-year-old musician's makeover.

It was a far cry from the dark hair he sported at a Champion's League match with his bandmates in March.
Meanwhile, the John Lennon Amnesty International Tapestry was presented inside the Registry Room at the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration in New York.
The 24-foot by 10-foot tapestry depicts Manhattan as a yellow submarine with Lennon as its captain waving a peace sign.
The artwork was unveiled on the 40th anniversary of Lennon receiving his green card allowing him permanent residency in the United States.

The tapestry was commissioned by Art For Amnesty founder Bill Shipsey as a token of appreciation for Ono, 82, giving Amnesty International rights to record covers of Lennon's post-Beatles songs.
The Make Some Noise campaign has featured Lennon covers by U2, R.E.M., Christina Aguilera, The Cure, Duran Duran and other artists and has raised more than $5 million for the human rights advocacy group.

Speech time: Bono gave a speech talking about Lennon and his message of peace
Bono during a speech noted that Lennon in the tapestry was shown giving the same peace sign that he famously flashed in front of the Statue of Liberty after succeeding in his immigration case.
The U2 frontman said he was only a teenager while Lennon was fighting to stay in the United States despite political opposition from President Richard Nixon.
Ono during a speech said she remembered Lennon's fight to stay in the country and that he knew it was important to spread his message of peace in the US.

She said that Lennon was 'proud and happy' when granted permanent residency despite the 'blue meanies' who didn't want it to happen.
The Edge, 53, joined Ono and Bono for photos in front of the tapestry with all three holding up peace signs.
U2 has been a longtime supporter of Amnesty International and participated in 1986 in the A Conspiracy Of Hope benefit concerts to raise awareness of the group on its 25th anniversary.
