Bono has revealed the identity of his secret half-brother, who he first spoke about in June, as his cousin Scott Rankin.
The U2 frontman first learned that he had a secret half-brother in 2000 after it was revealed that his father, Bob Hewson, was having an affair with his wife's sister, and Bono's aunt, Barbara. Bob finally shared the news after he was diagnosed with cancer and he later died in 2001.
According to the singer, the affair happened when his mother, Iris, was still alive, and she never knew. Bono now says that Scott always felt like a brother to him.
