Bono says he's isn't surprised Sharon Osbourne that took to Twitter for a profanity-laced rant about U2's recent iTunes album giveaway.

When you're a big enough band to warrant a Super Bowl commercial for your new single, it's pretty safe to say you've made it. But U2 frontman Bono still has the same hopes and fears as any multimillionaire musician after decades of rock stardom.

Normally we don't pay too much attention to the commercials during the Super Bowl -- the game's the important thing! But the news that U2 will debut a new song for charity during the game peaked our interest. On the eve of the kickoff, Bono talked a little bit more about 'Invisible.'

Though he's been known more in the last two decades for his trademark "Fly" sunglasses, the most distinct look of Bono's early days was his '80s mullet.

Ireland's favorite son, U2 lead singer Bono, was quick to show support for America in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, during the band's performance at the following winter's Super Bowl.

Thirty two categories worth of Big Daddy Awards nominees were announced this week, for the virtual awards show that serves as a fundraiser and public service announcement for prostate awareness.
