Dear Bono.
Happy birthday to you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for everything you do.
I hope you and your loved ones are well and safe.
I am looking forward to new adventures with you and the rest of the band.
With love and respect
Dear Bono,
I wish you a very happy birthday and a beautiful time with your family. May the next year of your life be filled with much luck, love, health and a lot of great music.
This year the 30th anniversary of “Achtung Baby” comes to mind. With “One” you wrote such a special song that touched the hearts of millions of U2 fans, including myself, through its poignancy and emotional depth you put in your vocals. The line “Carry each other” became a universal message and strong encouragement for us. Access to clean water and vaccines against Covid-19 are essential things for all people living in Africa. With your social activism you always care about those who are less fortunate. Keep on doing your great work!
Greetings from Austria
Happy 61 B we miss your amazing spirit and light! Thank u for creating the activist in me all those years ago. I am still fighting for the vulnerable and the forgotten because of your inspiration! I hope 61 brings u only good health, happiness and lots of love. Hope to be celebrating 🍾 next year at a U2 show–we have lots of work to do! Stay safe and well. Happy Birthday to beautiful Jordan as well!
Happy 61st Birthday to one of the most inspiring men I have ever had the honor to meet. Thank you for being so gentle and patient during a time that was so hard for you. You had just lost your friend, Michael, but still took the time to write get well notes and call sick fans that night. You have been a life-changing influence for me. Quite frankly, your music led me back to my faith.
Learning about what drives you has moved me to be better. You remain a spiritual provocateur, reminder to embrace my inner-child, fellow journey maker, firebrand, and encourager in my life. I thank God for letting you exist and thrive in this world. Thank you for striving to live up to your God given potential and working to help us all do the same. God bless you.
Happy Happy Birthday to our favorite Showman and Schiester!! Thank you for always shedding light on important causes like this!!
Happy birthday, Bono! Thank you for a lifetime of inspiration.
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays Bono! I am so pleased that the group has chosen “carry each other” as the theme for this year’s gift because those words have served as my guide since i first heard them – So striking in their simplicity, yet they embody the whole sermon on the mount in three words and hold the key to social and economic justice. Thank you for lifting me!
love, Katie
Happy Birthday Bono! Thank you for inspiring us all to be better people with your music and actions. May God bless you always.
You’ve inspired some awesome people here! Happy LXI Birthday!!
Happy birthday, Bono.
Dear Bono, happy birthday! I wish you all the best and I hope U2 will release new music pretty soon… I desperately need it…
A big hug from Italy

A toast amongst millions, to one humble, kind, mischief beautiful soul, handsome, tall – yes, I had to look up! – and with the most magic smile. The one who gives us unique magic moments and help us through dark and stormy times. The one who can shrink a stadium into an intimate small club, and today we shrink the world to a pub, raising glasses to you, wishing you health and happiness, love and joyfullness and a beautiful great day with your family and friends.
To the greatest singer of a town called earth! Take care Bono and have a very Happy Birthday with many, many, many… many more to come!
God bless you! Happy Birthday Bono!!
Cheers!
Love,
Sonja
PS: Thank you for the hug – sending you one to where ever you are

Bono,
listening to your new song and can’t get it out of my head! You continue to hammer out such inspirational lyrics and melodies. As we all get older- things like this mean more than ever.
Which is why this project in Tanzania is so important. Bless you and your family and thanks for the continued spark that you bring to your fans’ lives – on tour or off.
Enjoy your “gift”.

Happy Birthday, Bono!
Bono,
Thank You!
Thank you for all the enduring, beautiful music over the years. Thank you for continuing to inspire me to stay diligent in my advocacy work with the ONE campaign. It’s crucial now more than ever to remind people that we can’t ignore what is going on outside of our own borders. If the vaccine isn’t everywhere, this pandemic isn’t going anywhere. Hope you and your family has been safe during these difficult times.
Happy Birthday and many more to come.
All the best always,
Tara O’Donnell

HOWDY BONO!!!
HOPE YOU HAD AN AWESOME BIRTHDAY!!!
I can’t believe that AWF, us U2 fans, have been giving in your honor for 19 years! I also can’t believe that you’re 61 and me 51! Where has the time gone?! Here’s to another year and another well built!!!
I really do hope that you’re hanging in there during this time of the Covid pandemic. I’m fully vaccinated and waiting for concerts to start up again. We need you and us fans to be ONE again!
And of course, as I do every year, I pray that God continues to watch over you, your family, and the band.
Love, hugs, and kisses from the BIG D…DALLAS, TEXAS!

Happy Birthday, Bono!
Your music has been the soundtrack to my life for 35 years now, and has got me through some incredibly difficult times – none harder than the loss of my mother six weeks ago. I pray God protects you and your loved ones, and keeps you strong and healthy so you can continue to inspire and create. Stay well xxx
