Sunday Bloody Sunday, which opens the album War (released February 28, 1983) is the first true hymn of U2, and the first track, among many, written by Bono on the wounds of his land.ģ) September 10, 1974: Bono’s mother, Iris, suddenly dies and this tragedy overwhelms the life of young Paul and the Hewson family. Bono and U2 have always lived up to the problem of the Northern Ireland question, choosing to support peace alone. The massacre is one of the most salient facts of the so-called Troubles, and was renamed Bloody Sunday. The prize was a recording session with CBS.Ģ) January 30, 1972: In the city of London Derry, 14 Irish civilians are killed by troops in the British Army. Steve Averill, currently head of AMP Visual Design, and curator of all U2 album covers, proposed to young band The Hype to change their name, on March 18, 1978, to U2, after the band wins a contest in Limerick. Many wishes Bono, thank you eternally for everything! Thanks for giving us a great life!ġ) May 1, 1960: The American Lockheed U-2 spy plane is cut off near the Siberian city of Ekaterinburg. Of course, there could be 570 and not 57 of “highlights” in Bono’s life too great is his art and his person to be reduced to only 57. We’ve been thinking of honoring U2 leader, man, husband, father, activist, and, please, grant us,it, one of the most influential people in the music world, and not only, during the last 30 years (we’ll agree with us millions of his fans all over the world, to which Bono – like us – has made life more beautiful) by choosing, thanks to Aaron ( U2Songs), Matthias ( u2gigs), Gabriel ( U2Breathe ) and Daniela ( U2360gradi ) 57 (and more) relevant moments in Bono’s life. Little Paul ‘s family was half-Catholic, half-Protestant, living in the north of Dublin, more precisely in the suburb of Ballymun.Ī few years later the young Paul would have started calling himself Bono, by an idea of his fellow friend of Cedarwood Road Derek (Guggi) Rowen, resuming the name of a shop of hearing aids (still existing) on a crossroad of O’Connell Street in Dublin, “Bonavox Hearing Aids”.
