| Bono was born Paul David Hewson in Dublin in 1960. At 17 he joined the
embryonic U2 with three school friends. U2 released their first record with
Island Records in April 1980 and have gone on to sell over 100 million albums
worldwide, gathering 10 Grammies in the US and 6 Brit Awards in the UK along
the way. In 1992 their groundbreaking Zoo TV tour was hailed worldwide as
the most innovative spectacle ever staged. The follow up, 1997's PopMart
tour built on that inventiveness, and played to a record breaking 4 million
people worldwide. The current Elevation Tour in support of their triple-platinum
album "All That You Can't Leave Behind" has been critically acclaimed
on both sides of the Atlantic. This year, U2 have been given MTV's Lifetime
Achievement Award and honoured at the Brits for an Outstanding Contribution
to Music. In 1994 Bono was invited to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Frank Sinatra at the Grammies. He was the guest speaker at the UK International Year of Literature in 1995. |
