BONO: 'STORIES OF SURRENDER'.
THE BOOK TOUR
'An evening of words, music and some mischief...'
BroadwaySF, part of the Ambassador Theatre Group, Live Nation and Penguin Random House have announced that Bono will play the Orpheum Theatre as part of his 14-date city book tour in support of "SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story", the forthcoming memoir by Bono. The book tour, titled 'Stories of Surrender' and produced by Live Nation, will play BroadwaySF's Orpheum Theatre (1192 Market Street) for one night only, Saturday, November 12.
~~~~~~~~
Bono's appearance marks the release of a memoir in which one of the world's most iconic artists writes for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. Bono will bring the stories of his life to life -- live and in person-- to 14 cities across North America and Europe.
"I miss being on stage and the closeness of U2's audience," said Bono. "In these shows I've got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell... Plus I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, SURRENDER, which is really more of a WE-moir if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here".
SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story, tells the story of Bono's remarkable life, the challenges he's faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him.
The subtitle, '40 Songs, One Story,' refers to the book's 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings which will be featured throughout the book. In his unique voice, Bono takes readers from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was fourteen, to U2's unlikely journey to become one of the world's most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty.
Writing with candor, self-reflection, and humor, Bono opens the aperture on his life--and the family, friends, and faith that have sustained, challenged, and shaped him.
