Bono Is Bored Of Himself

• 8th Jan 2009

The U2 frontman says that he has written all the lyrics for the band's forthcoming new album in the guise of fictional characters because he has nothing interesting to say as himself.

Bono told Q: “”I'm bored of Bono and I am him – I'm sick of me. I felt it was a little limiting to be in the first person””.

Characters on the album include a war correspondent and a French police officer who goes AWOL.
