Pushing a very happy birthday to one of the greatest people alive today on this planet. You choose music has touched my life and changed me in amazing and profound ways. And then you look at what Bono has done as a person in his life and a person who genuinely cares about this world and human suffering. He sets an example that all of us could live by.
Happy birthday! Best wishes to you always.
Not even in my wildest dreams, I could have imagined how running into U2 at rock Torhout/Werchter back in 1983, would change my life, my purpose, my thinking, my friendships, my view on the world, my aspiration to help and improve myself and others, my travel plans, my own artistic endeavors, my philopsophy in life, my connections with others, … I am eternally grateful for all I have learned and experienced. For the message of hope, love and positivity.
May you live to 180
Happy Birthday! We need you guys back! Thanks for the EP’s!!

Happy birthday, Bono! Thank you for the difference you’ve made in both the world and my life through your music and example of compassion. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to (hopefully) seeing U2 out on tour again soon!
Happy birthday, Bono! Thank you for the continuous inspiration you bring us through your activism and your songs. For me it´s always exciting to listen to new music from U2. With the reflections on our times and themes like friendship and spirituality “Days of Ash” and “Easter Lily” are amazing records. I´m touched by the energy, urgency and beauty of those songs. May the next year of your life be filled with a lot of great music, love and friendship.
Happy Birthday dear Bono! 66 or finally 12 – teenage-time starting. May health and happyness always be with you, your life full of joy and mischieves. Make it slower to enjoy more and have a very happy birthday with family and friends. All the best wishes to you! Can’t wait to see you soon again. Love, Sonja
God’s Blessings to You Bono on Your birthday! All the Best to You!

Happy Birthday Bono!
Some people keep blankies from childhood into adulthood; I am not one of those people. Then it occurs to me one day…
I don’t have a blankie I have a rock bandie🤯😂
I have often said U2 creates music that makes me happy to be alive! Truly 😁✨
In all honesty It’s much deeper than that
I am immensely grateful there is space in the music for the full spectrum of emotions. In a life…
Now, that is magnetic, moving, magic, even joyful making U2’s music transcendent! 🎶♾️✨
My 14 year old self would like thank you for being my emotional support singer all these years.🤭#happythankU2moreplease
😎😎😎😎🎶🔥☘️✨
So looking forward to the next part of the journey.
Wishing you the Best Birthday yet!

Happy birthday Bono !
I saw things with your band U2 are slowly moving. That’s a good thing because I really need to see at least one U2 show before your retirement. I’m a big U2 fan that never ever saw a U2 show in my lifetime. I REALLY NEED IT!
In the meantime, I wish you joy, happiness and health (you greatly need it at this stage of your life).
Enjoy this special day with your loves ones.
I love you and see you soon!
Wishing you a wonderful birthday and time with family & friends.
You are an inspiration to so many around the world. You have helped us to see the good in others and the need to support those in need.
Thank you for being you!

Blessings on your birthday. Hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends. Thank you for making the world a better place and inspiring others to do so as well! And, of course, thank you for sharing your gift of music and prose with us.
Bono,
Thank You!
Thank you for all the lasting, beautiful music over the years. I’m also grateful for the way you continue to motivate me to stay committed in my advocacy work with the ONE Campaign. It feels more important than ever to remind people that we can’t turn a blind eye to what’s happening beyond our own borders.
Happy Birthday and many more to come.
All the best always,

Happy Birthday! During the Woody Guthrie Awards interview, you said something that greatly altered how I view my faith and my fellow man” We sing towards God, to the divinity in our audience, the divinity in the room and even the divinity in our reviewers. “ Thank you for creating music that points me to loving my Maker and my neighbor. Thank you for your courage to live out “ justice an obsession on the street of dreams.”
