Bono (U2) 

Paul David Hewson (born 10 May 1960), known as Bono, was raised in  alongside his brother, Norman Hewson, by his mother, Iris Rankin Hewson, a Protestant, and his father, Brendan Robert "Bob" Hewson, a Roman Catholic. Bono was 14 when his mother died on 10 September 1974 of a cerebral aneurysm at her father's funeral. Many songs from U2's albums, including "I Will Follow", "Mofo", "Out of Control" and "Tomorrow", focus on the loss of his mother. Bono is married to Alison Hewson. Their relationship began in 1975 and the couple was married on 21 August 1982 in an Anglican ceremony at a chapel on the Guinness family estate with Adam Clayton acting as Bono's best man. The couple has four children, Jordan, Memphis Eve, Elijah Bob Patricius and John Abraham. Bono lives in Killiney in south County Dublin, Ireland, with his family and shares a villa in Èze in the Alpes-Maritimes in the south of France. In Manhattan U2 divided an apartment at San Remo. In 1976, Bono responded to an advertisement by fellow student Larry Mullen Jr. to form a rock band, as did The Edge (David Howell Evans), Dick Evans and Adam Clayton. After Dick (nicknamed 'Dik'), Evans left the group, the remaining four officially changed the name from "The Hype" to "U2". Initially Bono sang, played guitar. Today, Bono writes the lyrics for almost all U2 songs, often rich in social and political themes. Frequently his lyrics allies to a religious connection or meaning, evident in songs such as "Gloria" from the band's album October  and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", from the The Joshua Tree album.
