Bono

Bono (born Paul David Hewson on May 10, 1960) is an Irish singer-songwriter, activist, and philanthropist. He is the rock band U2's lead vocalist and principal lyricist.

His songs usually feature social and political issues, as well as religious imagery based on his Christian beliefs. Bono's words contributed to U2's rebellious and spiritual tone in its early years. His lyrics got more motivated by personal experiences shared with the other members as the band grew older. Bono has 22 Grammy Awards to his name and has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of U2.

Bono is a social justice crusader, both through U2 and as an individual, in addition to his music.
