At the other end of the line, Bono’s self-styled publisher, who told him the star was coming to his modest business the next day to promote his autobiographical book Surrender : 40 Songs, a History.
Rather suspicious, the bookseller initially thought that she was being pranked. “We just thought it was a prank and someone was kidding us,” to the BBC. So what hasn’t been his surprise when, the next day, the frontman of U2 pushed; the door of the bookstore as if nothing had happened!
Job offer
A far cry from being a rock star, Bono has shown himself to be a rock star. very accessible. “He was so lovely and he chatted; with us. You can hardly get more iconic than Bono,” continued Jo Legerton, adding that the singer had also agreed to a cup of tea as well as a piece of cake. And the bookseller found this guest brand so nice that she even offered him a to come and do some extras for the holidays. If Bono declined this generous offer, he left the bookshop not without having bought the a nice stack of books.
However, the artist will probably not have had the leisure to read that evening. since he was on stage at the O2 Apollo in Manchester to promote his book.
