I recently saw this story but can't verify its accuracy:

Bono is at a U2 concert in Dublin when he asks the audience for some
quiet.

Then, in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.

He says into the microphone, in a deep solemn voice...

"Just for a moment, think outside yourself... Outside this arena...
Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A loud Irish voice from near the front pierces the moment...

"Well, ya stupid arse, stop yer friggin' clappin', then!"

A classic "shut up and sing" moment.
