Bono proudest of one tune as he admits to being 'scarlet' at most of U2's songs

Bono has admitted that he goes "scarlet" when he hears U2's songs on the radio and he doesn't like that band's name.

The group are now in their sixth decade but despite their global success, the band's frontman said he is embarrassed by most of his earlier work, saying that he has only learned to sing "recently".
