Bono: 'The world has never been closer to a world war in my lifetime'

Cannes - Bono - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Cannes is a short trip from Bono’s seaside villa in Eze-sur-Mer. He bought it with The Edge in 1993, and considers himself grateful to a coastline that, he says, gave him a “delayed adolescence.”

“I can tell you I’ve slept on beaches close to here,” Bono says with a grin. “I’ve woken up in the sun.”
