Is Bono planning to put pen to paper for his autobiography?
Apparently the answer is yes! ... And he’s allegedly got many millions
of reasons to do so.
The U2 frontman and global activist, according to the
Irish Sun,
“is believed to have bagged as much as €6.5million from publishers for
his autobiography, which publishers promise will offer an inside view of
his life and career in U2 and as a humanitarian.” No word on which publishing house nabbed the memoir…kind of strange
really as Bono would be a huge get. But maybe that info will be
forthcoming soon. As the world knows, Bono has a way with words. An autobiography would
undoubtedly be a best-seller given the places he’s been and the people
he’s dealt with as a rock star and humanitarian. The closest Bono got to putting his life story into words was in
2005, when he sat for a series of interviews for a book called Bono: In
Conversation with Michka Assays. The French author, a friend of Bono’s,
conducted a number of talks with Bono over several years. Bono spent time in Mexico last week at a
Mexico 21st Century event. "The moral arc of the universe does not bend toward justice," he said
at the gathering. "It has to be bent toward justice by people like the
ones in this room, by students who go out in the streets, by people who
join organizations like ONE or support (RED), or whatever it is…do not
fall asleep in the comfort of your freedom."
