Bono, aka Paul Hewson, turns 64 years old today, May 10! Here’s a look at Irish rock band U2’s ten best songs to celebrate
He joined U2 while he was still in secondary school (high school) but it was the band’s sixth album, “The Joshua Tree,” that made the Irish men international stars.
Over the years, Bono has used his celebrity status to bring the world’s attention to problems such as world poverty and AIDS. In 2005, he was named “Person of the Year” by TIME magazine, and in 2007, Queen Elizabeth II made him an honorary knight for his service.
Aside from his charitable works, Bono remains the frontman of U2. The Irish rock legends have been rocking out and filling arenas since they formed in 1976.
Arguably the most successful and popular music act around these days, U2 has released 15 studio albums, one live album, three compilation albums, 84 singles, and nine extended plays (EPs.)
In 2023 the band embarked on aa much-hyped residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
