BONO: STORIES OF SURRENDER
An evening of words, music and some mischief ..




Live Nation and Penguin Random House announced a 14-city book tour in support of SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story, the forthcoming memoir by Bono—artist, activist and U2 lead singer—which will be released worldwide on Tuesday, November 1, 2022.

The book tour, titled ‘Stories of Surrender’ and produced by Live Nation, is a limited run of theatre dates to mark the release of a memoir in which one of the world’s most iconic artists writes for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. Bono will bring the stories of his life to life — live and in person— to 14 cities across North America and Europe.

“I miss being on stage and the closeness of U2’s audience,” said Bono. “In these shows I’ve got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell … Plus I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, SURRENDER, which is really more of a WE-moir if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here.”

On November 1, Bono will release his memoir titled SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story, the story of the remarkable life he’s lived, the challenges he’s faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. The subtitle, ’40 Songs, One Story,’ refers to the book’s 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings which will be featured throughout the book. In his unique voice, Bono takes readers from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was fourteen, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Writing with candor, self-reflection, and humor, Bono opens the aperture on his life—and the family, friends, and faith that have sustained, challenged, and shaped him.

About Bono:
The lead singer of U2, Bono was born Paul David Hewson in Dublin. He met The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr., and Adam Clayton at school, and in 1978 U2 was formed. The band have released 14 studio albums and won numerous awards, including 22 Grammys and the Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience award. In 2005, U2 was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Alongside his role in U2, Bono is a groundbreaking activist. A leader in Jubilee 2000’s Drop the Debt campaign, he co-founded sister organizations ONE and (RED). With ONE, Bono has lobbied heads of state around the world, helping to ensure the passage of programs that have helped to save tens of millions of lives over the past twenty years. (RED)—which partners with companies to raise awareness and funds to combat AIDS—as of 2022 has generated more than $700 million for the Global Fund to treat and prevent AIDS in Africa.

Bono lives in Dublin with his family.

 

I hate to ruin it for you, but I don't think you should.

U2 Tweet On Ireland Abortion Referendum Draws Fire From Pro-Life Fans

 

Still waiting to hear if you still want to go to the U2 concert.....

 

Not certain. Wasn't Edge the big protester in this regard? Your link went back a few years.

 

Don't ask me. You've obviously chosen people you shouldn't support. Do some research.

 

It's moot. Bono sold out in Nashville.

 

Blood, Sweat and Tears

And When I Die/Blood Sweat & Tears

 

I've always loved this song. When Marvin croons "S'git it on" about halfway through, man that sends me a bit. Somewhat akin to the driving, iconic drum fills in Genesis' In The Air Tonight. Classic stuff.

Anyway. I also love this recording replete with vinyl scratches....

 

That's one concert I wish I had seen earlier this month. I never have.

 

I've always loved this song. Great rendition.....
