Two Hearts Beat As One - 'SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story' by Bono

40 years ago today, Bono married his soulmate, Ali.

1982. Dublin. It’s the morning of the wedding. The summer hit “Come On Eileen” is playing on the radio, and a 22-year-old Bono prepares to make a forever promise, one he isn’t sure he’s ready to make.

Illustrated by Bono, this unique animated piece features his recording part of a chapter from his upcoming memoir, SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story. Out November 1 and available for pre-order now.

Happy anniversary, Bono and Ali! #SurrenderMemoir #BookTok #Bono #U2

In ‘SURRENDER’ – out on 1st November – Bono writes about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with—from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty.

The title ‘SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story’ refers to the book’s 40 chapters, which are each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings for ‘SURRENDER’ which will appear throughout the book, and also feature in this animated video.
