Mount Temple
Comprehensive School

he began dating his
future wife,
Alison Stewart,
as well as forming,
with schoolmates,
the band that became
U2.
During U2's early years,
Bono's lyrics
contributed to the group's
rebellious and spiritual tone

his lyrics became inspired
more by
personal experiences
shared with the
other members.

Hall of Fame .
