U2 singer Bono discusses discovering he has a half-brother
U2 singer Bono has revealed he has a half-brother, whose existence he was unaware of for decades.
" I have Another Brother , whom I love and adore, who I didn't know I had, " he told BBC Radio 4 's Desert Island Discs.
The Singer said he found out about his half-brother in 2000, adding that he is " At Peace " with it.
The 62-year-old told host Lauren Laverne that His Mother Iris, who died in 1974, did not know her husband had a child with Another Woman .
" It's a very close Family , " Bono said, " and I could tell My Father had a deep friendship with this gorgeous woman, who's part of The Family , And Then they had a child. And This Was all kept secret. "
After Bono found out, he spoke to his father Bob before his death in 2001.
" I asked him, did he love My Mother , and He Said yes, " he recalled. " And I said, how could this happen, and He Said , 'It can', and that he was trying to put it right.
" He wasn't apologising, he was just stating, these are the facts. And I'm At Peace with it. "
'Complicated relationship'Asked whether His Mother knew, Bono replied: " No, nobody knew.
" My Father was obviously going through a lot, but partly his head was elsewhere because his heart was elsewhere. "
The Singer also has an older brother called Norman.
On the programme, Bono discussed the death of His Mother , from a brain aneurysm when he was 14, and how her death had a huge impact on His Family .
" It's pocketbook psychology but I immediately just found another Family - I formed U2, I found Ali [Hewson, his wife], it happened quite quickly, " He Said .
Bono described his relationship with his father as " complicated" adding: " I'm sure I was hard to deal with.
" And he was coping with a lot. He didn't know quite what was going on. And I subsequently understood he was coping with other stuff. "
Bono, who plans to release An Autobiography later this year, rose to fame in the early 1980s and became one of the biggest Rock Stars on The Planet .
The Band 's hits include Vertigo, Beautiful Day , One, With Or Without You and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
He wrote many of The Group 's most successful songs, as well as becoming known as a Human Rights activist.
