Sotheby’s are auctioning off one of Bono’s ‘stage worn leather jackets’ for charity, the Quincy Jones Listen Up Foundation. The current minimum bid is: US $10,575.00.
From the auction page:
Description:
This black leather jacket was worn by Bono the lead singer for the band U2 during the “Elevation” Tour in 2001. The jacket is a fine grade soft leather with a straight cut at the bottom. The heavy black stitching around the arms, front, pockets and sides create a dramatic effect, complimented by the two silver military style stripes and a head star on the front pocket. The jacket has a zipper front and a label inside which reads “odd Lynn” from London. It includes a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Quincy Jones and Darren Julien.
Condition: Very good condition. There is some silver paint around the stitching.
Measurements: Size Large

I was fortunate enough to meet Bono couple of times, but the size “Large” seems a bit strange to me…

Holy crap I didn’t know Bono was in the X-men. I guess that explains the funky glasses too.

Sure he’s in there… Special mutant abilities: Being able to sing the high B in Pride at 42 years old, never getting tired EVER, being able to stand on one foot a little too well, still being married after kissing and making out with hundreds of women around the world, and still being the coolest guy that ever lived!!! Except maybe Jesus, who I’m sure would have owned several U2 albums if alive today… Anybody else have any superhuman abilities Bono has I forgot???

I think that Bono does both – on occasion. I’ve read more than once that he does smoke infrequently. I’ve also seen, first hand, a sweaty Bono returning from playing tennis for a couple of hours.

Halloween costume? I dress like Bono every day! If I had the money I’d buy this right away. Then I could zoom around the house (annoying the heck out of my parents)screaming “I’m in Bono’s clothes!” I’d probably never take it off. Sigh, unfortunately I have 45 bucks to my name.

What the heck? who would buy his jacket for 10,000$ If Bono wears something does it become sacred and worth lots of money because he hold some supernatural powers? NO. This is a waste, yes U2 rocks and if anyone disagrees they deserve to die, but this is going to far. Heres my idea whoever is selling this, u2’s producers or something, I think this jacket looks tight. So hear me out, instead of expecting someone o buy it for 10,000$ make replicas. uh huh, uh huh. Ho wyou like my idea. That way you will make more money by multiple people. You hould od this for all his tight jackets. My ideas rule and if you need any other advice to help run yur business e-mail me. Also E-mail me what you think of my idea if you ever read this.
