Bono performed in front of a sold-out crowd for 'Stories of Surrender,' a combination one-man autobiographical show and stripped-down U2 tour in support of his new memoir
By 7:45 p.m., a line to gain entry snaked down Broadway and around 9th Street — a process slowed down by Bono’s insistence that every phone be locked away in a Yondr pouch. Once inside, every attendee was handed a hardcover copy of his book. Fans who paid $250 to see their idol perform in a 2,000-seat theater buzzed around the lobby, including Marc Maron, who waited patiently in line at the bar.
Yes, Bono can sing and can command the farthest reaches of a stadium behind a pair of bug-eyed sunglasses. That’s pretty much a given at this point. But did we know he could act? Through it all, Bono revealed a new side of the rock star we thought we knew. The evening is book-ended by two deaths: The shocking loss of his mother from an aneurysm in his youth; and the loss of his father to cancer many years later, after he has achieved massive worldwide fame and the two finally began to find common ground.
