The organisation said the band's frontman was being recognised for his work on the ONE anti-poverty campaign, which he co-founded.
She said Bono would donate his $50,000 prize to his One charity and Red, another organisation he co-founded that works with well known corporate brands to try and eliminate HIV/Aids in Africa. "When we hear President Zelensky speaking, or when you look at the humbling heroism of the people of Kiev for Lviv or Maripol, there's a part of me that feels they more European than me.
"We knew America was not living up to all its ideals but it had ideals - you cited them, they shaped the struggle for civil rights, women's rights and gay rights."
Wanker
Typical Bono - his only charitable cause is Bono!
That will be himself & himself charities
AWESOME!!!
Follow the money😉😉😉
We be be paying tax on his winnings?
Yet another comment thread mostly full of dummies ..good on ya Bono, continue to be a champion of social Justice. U think the $50k donated is ALL he’s given? If so you’re delusional. Countless amounts and time and $ spent because he cares and uses his fame to better the world
Bono in fairness always always stood up against the provos and their campaign of hate and violence
If you claim to be Irish....come back and pay your taxes.If people only knew him for what he really is.....giving away the prize money...big swinging ....
Gobshite of the highest order.
Always trying to stay relevant no matter what the cause. People like that always exploit any situation in order to make it about themselves. I would say stick to singing only that would be even more unbearable.
Hang on, I thought he hated violent resistance🤷♂️
Never mention s Palestinians bravery
In his award acceptance speech Bono spoke of the “humbling heroism” of people in Ukraine who were “actually living for the ideal that is freedom. We have not been asked to face that test yet,” he said. The people who faced the Brits/RUC/UDR for 30 years would beg to differ.
Please put Bono on the front lines in Mariupol. He can sing for his hero’s in the Azov battalion
Little runt can't stand him
Well Deserved. ♥️U2
I dunno, it’s internationally understood that SF stands for San Francisco. 🤷🏻♂️
How kind of him.
Would be great if he paid his taxes instead of making ‘donations’. We might have a functioning health service if people like him paid their share.
Bono is full of
Now this is April fools
Yes, of course.
