Bono

Nelson Mandela's death on Dec. 5 inspired a number of heartfelt reactions from members of the rock community. While many lamented the loss of an inspiring figure and world leader, others felt Mandela's passing on a more personal level -- including U2 frontman Bono, who was fortunate enough to count the legendary activist among his friends.

There's lots of buzz over the movie 'Enough Said' right now -- partly because it stars the late James Gandolfini in his last big role. And partly because of who plays his daughter -- Eve Hewson, whose real-life father is even more famous: Bono.

U2's Bono has claimed that the band's recent recording sessions have been their best "since 1979".  On the Irish TV show "The Late Late Show",  Bono insisted that he and his bandmates had been enjoying a productive streak in the studio, but also said that they were aware they needed to produce "something very special" on their next LP.

Paul McCartney may be about to be surpassed as the wealthiest rock musician in the world by Bono. The U2 frontman who owns a 2.3 percent stake in Facebook, is expected to see his net worth increase significantly when the social-networking company goes public.

Reports say that Bono, lead singer of the band U2, was treated for heart palpitations and chest pains at a hospital in Monaco on Wednesday and Thursday of last week.  Bono’s second health issue of the year happened only three weeks after U2 had wrapped up its record breaking “360 Tour”...

U2’s 360° Tour finally made its stop in East Lansing making up for a postponed date earlier in the year because of lead singer Bono’s back surgery.  65,000 fans crammed into Spartan Stadium on a gorgeous Sunday night, to hear one the history’s most relevant rock acts...
