The City of Turin in Italy awarded Bono with Honorary Citizenship on September 15, 2003. City representatives were finally able to present Bono with the deed in Milan after U2’s show on July 20.
Nelson Mandela and Bishop Tutu are among previous honorary citizens of Turin. Bono is lauded for playing Kosovo stadium and donating the proceeds of that show to reconstructing the hospitals in Sarajevo, for his work on Jubilee 2000, Net Aid, and DATA.

125 Million euro for this tour alone, and he still can’t afford to buy himself a dress shirt. Poor chap!
PS, do you guys think he brushes his chest hair?
PSS I seem to remember him with more chest hair… Or maybe that’s the hair the doctors (did we thank the nurses yet?) used to make it look as if he never really was bald at all? The mind boggles… (I need to get out more)
