Bono
Paul David Hewson, KBE OL (born 10 May 1960), known by his stage name Bono, is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, venture capitalist, businessman, and philanthropist. He is best known as the lead vocalist and primary lyricist of rock band U2.
During U2's early years, Bono's lyrics contributed to the group's rebellious and spiritual tone.
As a member of U2, Bono has received 22 Grammy Awards and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Bono is widely known for his activism for social justice causes, both through U2 and as an individual. He is particularly active in campaigning for Africa, for which he co-founded DATA, EDUN, the ONE Campaign, and Product Red.
In pursuit of these causes, he has participated in benefit concerts and met with influential politicians.
Bono has been praised for his philanthropic efforts; he was granted an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom for "his services to the music industry and for his humanitarian work", and has been made a Commandeur of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters).
In 2005, Bono was named one of the Time Persons of the Year.
