Paul David Hewson (born May 10, 1960), nicknamed Bono Vox - stage name Bono - is the lead singer of the Irish rock band U2.

Bono has been lead singer of the band U2 since 1976. U2 has won 22 Grammy Awards to date, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. Lauded by fans and critics as an outstanding performer and songwriter, Bono has also been praised by world leaders as an accomplished activist due to his powers of persuasion and knowledge of the issues. He travels extensively to give speeches and lobby politicians. Bono’s career as a socially conscious musician has been shaped by childhood experiences in Ireland (his father Bobby was Catholic and his mother Iris was a Protestant) as well as volunteer work in Africa and South America. He married his childhood sweetheart Alison Stewart in 1982. An accomplished activist in her own right, Ali Hewson once declined an invitation to run for President of Ireland because her husband “would not move to a smaller house”. They live in Dublin with their four children: Jordan, Memphis Eve, Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q, and John Abraham.

    It's what I said the other day on youtube... people hate him because, for some reason, they think that people engaged with humanitarian aid cannot be popular and have money. Apparently if you help the poor, you should be just like the poor. Now go figure this... Well the man sure has LOTS of problems (as most people by the way): he drinks, he smokes (or at least used to, I'm not really sure if he's still smoking... his voice is pretty good in this tour), and sometimes he's a bit arrogant and talks too much. But at least he's TRYING to do something to help, and also wisely uses his band's music as a medium. I think haters simply like to hate, because they think it's cool and everybody is doing it. Get a personality people. [3] / Thank you, VitorMach.

    a mi parecer esta es una de las bandas las cuales muchas deberian imitar, todas hacen campañas para ganar dinero, y talvez U2 lo haga, pero al menos nos llega sus ideales de que hay que luchar contra las cosas injustas.

    Bono is so cool, there are some guys in my class who like to make fun of him but they wouldn't even know who he was if they hadn't seen that stupid South Park episode.

    I don't know why you have to hate him, he's awesome, I wish I could give him a hug. <3 And I'm not a fangirl or something, U2 is not my favourite band, but I love them since I heard them when I was a little child, and Bono is one of the best male singers.[2]

    What? It was ok until he started to play jesus at U2 concerts, talking about all this stuff between songs. Watch Vertigo Live from Chicago DVD, he just never shuts up. What I mean - you want to help africa? OK. But don't bring it to your band.

    I hate his 2000's image. He used to be just a cool guy in 90's but after 2000 he started to talk shit about helping africa and started to use the band for his purposes (yes, of course, talking about africa and stuff ALL the time.) I like him, but he should just shut the fuck up and concentrate on working with U2.

    I have some residual adolescent-crush effect to where I have this silly affection for Bono even when his music sucks. Which it has since the millenium turned, but whatever, people enjoy it when you're coasting I guess. I could just kick him for wrecking his voice with drinking and cigarettes, though.

    People need to shut the fuck up about Bono. You've never sat down and talked to him so don't tell us he's an asshole. You don't know him.
