Bono – U2 

Bono is the lead singer of an Irish rock band. Bono has often talked about how The Beatles are one of his biggest musical influences. He can remember hearing the song ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ when he was three years old. He wrote: “I associate the song with the smell of freshly cut grass as I was lying on my back on the damp green patch after my Da had cut the lawn.”   

 

He says of U2: “We still look to [The Beatles] as models of what can be achieved when four people get into a room and start experimenting.” 

He continued: “It’s sad that two of them are gone now. […] It’s always worth reminding ourselves how lucky we are to be alive at a time when we grew up with the Beatles.”
