Home Music Bono Posts 60 Songs That Saved His Life to Celebrate 60th Birthday,...

Bono has posted an eclectic list of songs that saved his life for his 60th birthday. His favorite song that saved his life his own recording ofg Miserere with Pavarotti and Zucchero. He also liked his duet with Sinatra, and a record he and U2 did with Kendrick Lamar. Not one song by a classic soul artist, just one from the Beatles, none from them individually, one early Stones single. Well, these lists tend to be subjective and immediate. Next year it could all be different. Happy Birthday, Paul Hewson!
