Bono has confirmed that U2 will play three concerts in Dublin's 3Arena this Christmas. He makes the revelation in an exclusive interview he gave to the late Tony Fenton shortly before the DJ's death last March.
The interview, which was Tony's last, will be broadcast in a special one-hour show titled When Bono Met Tony on Today FM this coming bank holiday Monday, May 4, at 3.00pm.
In the interview, Bono chats openly about the band’s upcoming tour, including details of Irish shows this Christmas, and spills the beans on previous tours, revealing his favourite tour, the highs and lows of being on the road and why he was whacked on the head with a hairdryer.
In January of this year, lifelong U2 fan and friend of band Tony was invited to join Bono and wife Ali at home in Killiney to record the interview.
According to Today FM, Tony had wanted to interview Bono for many years and, after bumping into each other on a night out, he asked Bono to come on to The Tony Fenton Show around the release of the band’s new album.
Bono promised he would. Unfortunately Tony was in hospital when Songs of Innocence was released. Upon hearing of Tony’s ill-health, Bono, true to his word, welcomed Tony into his home to record the interview.
