U2's lead singer Bono is probably as well known for his faith as he is for his politics and music And the combination of those three high profile parts of his life has given him access to Popes, presidents and prime ministers. But it was a song from 1987 which put U2 in the news in May 2005. The band turned down a £12.5m offer from an advertising agency which wanted to use their song Where the Streets Have No Name. So why would anyone turn down a £12.5 million fee? Bono said: “That’s the one song we can guarantee God will walk through the room as soon as we play it”. It sounds like U2 did not want to risk God’s arrival at a gig being confused with a product which the song might have been used to advertise. Al Rogers, aged 30, is a youth worker for the parish of Emmanuel Loughborough and St Mary in Charnwood Nanpantan. |
