About this product

Product Information

For the first time ever, Bono-the biggest rock star in the world-tells his life story. Bono's career is unlike any other in rock history. As the lead singer of U2, Bono has sold 130 million albums, won fourteen Grammys, and played numerous sold-out world tours, but he has also lobbied and worked with world leaders from Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to Nelson Mandela on debt relief, AIDS, and other critical global issues. He has collaborated with the same musicians for nearly three decades and has been married to his childhood sweetheart since 1982. His life, at all turns, resists the rock star clichés. In a series of intimate conversations with his friend Michka Assayas, a music journalist who has been with the band since the very beginning, Bono reflects on his transformation from the extrovert singer of a small Irish post-punk band into one of the most famous individuals in the world; and from an international celebrity to an influential spokesperson for the Third World. He speaks candidly about his faith, family, commitment, influences, service, and passion. Bono: A Self-Portrait in Conversationis the closest we will come, for now, to a memoir from the iconic frontman of U2.

    Bono -- Modern Renaissance Man

    I was intrigued by this book because I wanted to see how an international rock star was able to claim a powerful role in global politics. This book does not disappoint, and uncovers the complexity of Bono as a person. Fans of U2 will appreciate the description of the band's dynamics and their early days, though you will likely walk away wanting to understand things from the other members' perspective. The book is basically a transcript from a series of interviews with Bono, and Assayas (the author) doesn't pull any punches. I was left with a strong respect for Bono's keen mind (this is one sharp dude!) his integrity as an artist.

    Great for those who love Bono & U2

    Insightful and elegant Bono is every bit the charismatic frontman we all love! Michka Assayas asks him the questions we've all wanted to ask and pursue the beautiful answers only Bono can give. If you love U2, you will love this book. He does not hide his love for fans, family and friends. His passion about helping Africa is never more honest then in this book. I just loved it.

    Bono by Bono, Michka Assayas

    a humanitarian and artist that holds nothing back. Bono is one of the most talented, humble men to come around in a long time. very good read, very interesting man.
