Bono is heading out on a 14-city book tour to promote his upcoming memoir in a series of theater dates including Boston's Orpheum Theater on November 4th. This will be a return to the Orpheum long coming; the last time U2 played the 2800-seat venue was on the WAR tour of 1983 and THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE tour (1st leg) in December 1984.
Bono's upcoming memoir "SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story" is out everywhere November 1. The book reveals the story of Bono's life… from his childhood on Cedarwood Road in Dublin, U2's journey all the way from Larry's kitchen, Bono's long love story with his wife Ali, his faith, activism and more. The subtitle, '40 Songs, One Story,' refers to the book's 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings which will be featured throughout the book.
