U2 frontman Bono is sharing his new memoir.
“Surrender” is in stores now and details the journey from his youth in Dublin to fronting one of the world’s most iconic rock bands.
The book is reportedly “organized across 40 different U2 songs, including 40 original drawings.”
“When I started to write this book, I was hoping to draw in detail what I’d previously only sketched in songs,” Bono said in a statement.
“Surrender is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept…I am still grappling with this most humbling of commands. In the band, in my marriage, in my faith, in my life as an activist,” Bono continued.
Bono is promoting the memoir with a 14-date book tour called, “Stories of Surrender,” which kicks off in New York this week and includes stops in Chicago, London, Berlin, Paris, Madrid and, of course, Dublin.
