Bono was showered with praise last night after his gig at the Olympia Theatre.
The performance was part a tour promoting his first book, "Surrender: 40 songs, 1 story." The intimate show examines Bono and U2's musical success as well as his early years growing up in Dublin.
The audience was full of famous faces including President Michael D Higgins, Taoiseach Micheal Martin, Tanaiste Leo Varadkar, U2 bandmate Adam Clayton, director Jim Sheridan, singer Glen Hansard, Charlie Bird, and Bono's wife Ali and son John Hewson.
