Canadian Billionaire Guy Laliberte checked into the U2 Tampa, Florida show last night from outer space.

The Cirque du Soliel founder was aboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. He paid $35 million for his ticket.

Laliberte ?Ç£phoned home?Ç¥ to Bono during U2?ÇÖs show in Tampa. 'I see stars, I see darkness and emptiness.' he told Bono. 'But planet Earth looks so great, and also so fragile. We should not forget that we have a great privilege to live on planet Earth.'

?ÇÿElevation?ÇÖ seemed the appropriate song for U2 to follow up the call with.

Here is the U2 setlist from last night?ÇÖs Tampa show:

Breathe
Get on Your Boots
Mysterious Ways
Beautiful Day
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Stuck In A Moment
No Line on the Horizon
