I read somewhere that's actually a nod to Bono and the Edge. They had met up a few times here and there especially in the early 90's... and if memory serves me he was going to be either:

a) one of the 'guests' of the Zootv / Zooropa tours (like Salman Rushdie)
b) a 'video instellation' either like the vid's of the 'confessionals' or like Lou Reed, when Bono and video Lou would duet Satellite of Love
