Bono 50

On May 10, 2010, Paul David Hewson, better known as Bono, turns 50. A surprising age for the seemingly eternally young singer of the Irish rock group U2. He founded U2 together with his mates Larry Mullen, The Edge and Adam Clayton in 1976, since then it has rarely been quiet around Bono.
Bono is an absolute icon in rock history. And he is still enormously popular, which is also proven by the fact that all U2 concerts are sold out in no time. In September 2010, U2 comes to Brussels for two concerts, each time all tickets were sold out in an hour.
Bono is not only a superstar as a singer, he has also been involved in various campaigns for third world countries and the fate of Africa since 1999. In this capacity he has spoken with numerous presidents and top politicians from around the world. He also performed with U2 at the inauguration of Obama as president.
No one can describe the life, career and soul of Bono better than Bart Steenhaut, celebrated and reputable music journalist at De Morgen. Steenhaut knows the singer and the group inside and out, is a fan, but does not spare the sharpness of his pen.
