Bono Is Obsessed With Sunglasses / U2 Joined Onstage By Bruce Springsteen


U2
Bono Is Obsessed With Sunglasses

U2 front man Bono has claimed he is obsessed with wearing shades and has called himself the “Imelda Marcos of sunglasses”

The 45 year old is rarely seen these days without a customary pair of wrap-arounds of the Bulgari make but he says its because he has sensitive eyes.

He told Rolling Stone: “If somebody takes my photograph, I will see the flash for the rest of the day. My right eye swells up.”

"A lot of people think that, when they see a `B' on the side, that it's just my own megalomania. Only half the time it is. I'm the Imelda Marcos of sunglasses."

For those of you who don’t know who Imelda Marcos is, she was the wife of former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos and reputedly owned over 3,000 pairs of shoes.
