Bono to attend US President Joe Biden's State of the Union address in Washington DC

Rock star Bono will be among the featured guests sitting alongside first lady Jill Biden during the State of the Union address.

The White House said the guests were invited "because they personify issues or themes to be addressed by the President in his speech, or they embody the Biden-Harris Administration's policies at work for the American people." President Joe Biden was expected to refer to several of the invitees by name during his remarks.

Bono was invited for his advocacy and philanthropic support for global health and AIDS relief initiatives.
