Bono Gets Honorary Knighthood

2006-12-23 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 20 Comments
U2 singer Bono will receive an honorary knighthood next month, according to BBC News.

The Queen granted the famous windbag, real name Paul Hewson, the honour based on his "his services to the music industry and for his humanitarian work." He'll receive the honour from the British ambassador in Dublin at the ceremony in the new year.

Really though, only a douche bag would do something like that.

I don't like his band but it's nice he was knighted.

Officially it will be Bono KBE for the reason Spat Out Plath gave people will refer to him informally as Sir Bono however and for that Tony Blair is a twat - its one big popularity contest to him not honouring people who truely deserve it

What exactly does Bono do for starving children? Wikipedia isn't helping me here.

Does he sing the hunger away?
