atu2.com: Welcome to the first in a series of "Best Of" articles intended to highlight the lives and careers of U2's four talented members on the occasion of their birthdays. Our first subject has been known as Posh Spice, Sparky and Spoon Boy. You might know him better as Adam.To begin with, it is acknowledged that Larry Mullen Jr., posted the notice that started the band, the Edge built his own guitar, and Bono was a charismatic son of a gun with a penchant for world causes. Fair enough. But, U2 could not be U2 without the unique qualities brought to the table by all four of its members.

That, at least, is the story Bill Flanagan tells in U2: At the End of the World. Prophecy? Blind luck on the part of the fortuneteller? Simply a grand story by Bob Hewson? It doesn’t matter. As the man himself has said, “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” [

U2-Frontman Bono feiert heute seinen 44. Geburtstag!
Paul David Hewson, wie er mit bürgerlichem Namen heißt, wird heute, am 10. Mai, 44 Jahre alt. Seine Fans kennen ihn allerdings besser unter seinem Künstlernamen 'Bono', Frontmann und Sänger der irischen Rockband 'U2'.
Bereits seit über 20 Jahren ist Bono mit seiner Truppe eine Kultfigur und in der internationalen Rockszene nicht mehr wegzudenken. Verkaufsrekorde bei den Alben 'The Joshua Tree' und 'Rattle and Hum', könnten sogar den Beatles Konkurrenz machen.
Bono wuchs in den politischen Wirren Nordirlands auf. Seine Mutter starb früh. 1976 gründete er eine Band und wurde dort Sänger. Bereits 1978 gewannen sie einen Wettbewerb. Kurze Zeit später entstand 'U2'.
