U2s Bono will publish autobiography

The Irish musician has signed a deal with Penguin Random House to publish the book internationally, former band manager Paul McGuinness told the Times.

McGuinness helped negotiate a contract for the autobiography a few years ago, and the book was due out in mid-2019. However, he said the famous singer had not yet finalized his memoir, which would delay its publication.

Bono is working on the autobiography himself without the help of a ghostwriter, McGuinness told the Times, and he said a number of prominent publishers entered a bidding war for the rights to the book when Bono announced his intention to write an autobiography .

Penguin Random House’s New York office will handle the project and publish the book in a number of languages, including Spanish and Catalan in Spain.

An exact release date is not yet known.

Bono will be the first member of U2 to publish an autobiography when he publishes his memoir.

The band previously released U2 by U2, which told the story of the Irish band and proved hugely popular.

The Eason bookstore on O’Connell Street, one of the most famous bookstores in Ireland, had to close to the public for five hours when U2 was promoted by U2 in September 2006. Fans desperately tried to enter the shop that housed the four members of U2 signed copies of the new book.

According to the Times, it was only the second time in the history of the store that it had to close during a book signing.

Bono has previously said that he doesn’t like to write or think about his career and compare it to tooth extraction.

“I’m much more interested in the future than the past,” said Bono at the time U2 published U2. “But this year we thought it was time to take a deep breath, accept that we did some interesting things, wrap them up and put them out there. Then we can move on to the next phase. ”
