Bono
Paul David Hewson KBE (* 10. Mai 1960 in Dublin), bekannt als Bono, ist ein irischer Musiker. Er ist Sänger, Gitarrist und Songwriter der Rockband U2. Paul David Hewson wuchs mit seinen Eltern und seinem älteren Bruder in einer Vorstadt der „Northside“ von Dublin (Finglas) auf. Der Vater war katholisch, die Mutter anglikanisch.
Seine Schulfreunde nannten ihn Bono Vox (von lateinisch bona vox für „gute Stimme“); dieser Spitzname wurde, auf Bono gekürzt, zu seinem Künstlernamen. Mit 15 Jahren entdeckte Bono seine Neigung zur Musik und zum Gitarrespielen. Inspiriert wurde er durch die Musik von Bands wie der Patti Smith Group, Thin Lizzy oder den Ramones. 1976 meldete er sich in der Mount Temple School in Dublin auf einen Aushang von Larry Mullen junior, der Musiker suchte, um eine Rockband zu gründen. Aus dieser Band wurde nach mehreren Namenswechseln (von „Feedback“ über „The Hype“) 1978 die Band U2.
Der Rolling Stone listete Bono auf Rang 32 der 100 besten Sänger sowie gemeinsam mit The Edge auf Rang 35 der 100 besten Songwriter aller Zeiten.
