U2's Bono breaks silence on shock near-death experience: 'It was physical for me'
The U2 frontman has revealed a near-death encounter inspired the bands hotly-anticipated new album Songs of Experience. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Bono — real name Paul David Hewson — referred to the incident as an extinction event.
And while he admitted the health scare was physical in nature, the 57-year-old declined to give any exact details on what threatened to take his life.
Explaining his outlook, the Dublin-born star said: People have these extinction events in their lives — it could be psychological or it could be physical.
And, yes, it was physical for me, but I think I have spared myself all that soap opera. Revealing he wants to leave fans to reach their own conclusions, Bono continued: Especially with this kind of celebrity obsession with the minutiae of peoples lives - I have got out of that.
I want to speak about the issue in a way that lets people fill in the blanks of what they have been through, you know? Despite the scary experience, the City Of Blinding Lights singer — who cites mortality as an influence on his latest music — is aware of his privileged position.
"People have these extinction events in their lives. it was physical for me" Bono Detailing his approach to life, he mused: I am the f***** luckiest man on Earth.
I didnt think that I had a fear of a fast exit. Bonos U2 bandmate The Edge — real name David Howell Evan — has also spoken of the frontmans dice with death.
Making sure to protect his friends privacy, the 56-year-old told Rolling Stone last month: He [Bono] definitely had a serious moment, which caused him to reflect on a lot of things.
But where that brought him to as a writer was an amazing place. This isnt the first time Bonos health has been a cause of concern, with the main main describing his scares as shocks to the system.
In 2000, the celebrated talent was tested for throat cancer by a specialist. Luckily, much to the relief of the singer and his worldwide fanbase, the scare turned out to be a false alarm.
