Happy birthday Bono!
Happy birthday to you and to your lovely daughter Jordan! I am looking forward to another year of your good works, great music, and incredible live performances.
Sending lots of love from Florida.
Happy Birthday Bono! May you have many more years to inspire us.
Happy Birthday Bono! I enjoy sharing my birthday month with you. I have spent nearly 40 of my now 50 years listening to U2, leading a philanthropic life modeled after the great work you have inspired so many of us to follow and photographing your band. If you are interested, please see my images I have had the pleasure to capture on Instagram @U2photography. Enjoy your birthday and continue to inspire.
Love, Pradip
You make me so proud to be Irish, and to be a U2 fan. Thank you, thank you, thank you – and happy birthday!

Happy Bday Bono~
We’ve raised our kids to u2 music–The Rainwaters
Happy birthday, Bono. Thanks for the music, the lyrics, the shows, the ridiculous, the sincere, the insincere, the remixes, the “defiant joy”, the voice you help give to people who are voiceless, the Edge and all the rest. Loved your recent chat with Eugene Peterson about the Psalms and how Christian music needs to be more honest. U2 and The Message — two things that have changed my life.
Happy birthday Bono (u2) thank you, love action in the world✌️
Happy Birthday Bono! Thank you for showing us how each one of us can help to make the world a better place.
Happy birthday Bono, and thank you. On a personal level, you have been my Joey Ramone from the very first—and I know you know what that means. It’s been an absolute pleasure and privilege to grow up with U2, and to see you become such a life-giving force in the world. I’m so proud of you! Massive love to you, Edge, Adam, and Larry, and to the entire U2 family.
Dear Bono, thank you for caring so much about us fans. We love you so much and know that God always has a purpose for those who love him. Another great year of love and service, have a Happy birthday. 🙂
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Happy Birthday, Bono! Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing music, lyrics and insights to the world we live in. Never stop – keep rockin’
A beautiful day and happy birthday to you, dearest Bono! Since 2002 I’ve had the “Can Bono Save The World?” cover of Time magazine framed in my home, and I still believe (as I’ve always believed) that the answer is yes, if anyone can. I will follow, I do follow your lead. Rock on–in the name of love! =)
Happy Birthday Bono! I was lucky enough to spend nine months travelling around Africa followed by six years working in Zanzibar, so I have a deep and abiding love for the continent. Thank you for all that you do!
Happy Birthday from France and all the French fans. We strongly support your work and involvement in Africa and around the world.
Thank you and keep on doing it!
Merci 🙂

Happy Birthday, Bono!!!
You are a true icon and example for me (and so many others) to live your life out loud, stand for what you believe, be YOUR authentic self, and don’t forget to be silly (don’t take yourself so seriously) and enjoy the ride along the way. I’m a longtime and forever fan, and honoring you on May 10th has become a yearly tradition. I even named my dog Bono…hah! I hope your day was relaxing, fun, raucous, and amazing.
Love, Michelle
Happy Birthday, Bono!

(Wrote You a poem, it’s in first person, but definitely from a male perspective).
“ARCHANGEL ”
I thought I went to Heaven
Archangel sat by me
She fed me Jumbo Shrimps
From a Crystal Bowl you see…
I stood no chances whatsoever,
I’ve burned inside – in bowl of ice
You slightly tickled
One of my freckles,
And hushed me not to cry.
With Joyful Noise
I sang to Thee
Since I had not much choice
And very hard
I held my Heart
Tried not to lose my voice.
I burned inside
She laughed at me
And in her laughter
I have found… Mercy.
Her fingers gave me ‘nother Shrimp
…And full of Joy
I Kissed Her Wing.
(Gabrielle Orlita 2016).
Happy Birthday, to You and Jordan! Love Gabrielle Orlita and Kurt Boras.
Happy Birthday, I love you

Bono,
I love you so much, Happy Birthday, I love you

HAPPY 56TH BIRTHDAY BONO!!!
Well, well, well…I’m back! 14 years in a row now that I’ve donated to the African Well Fund! And it’s “all because of you…I am”! You’re still a huge inspiration!
And as always, may God continue to watch over you, your family, and the band.
TEXAS SIZED LOVE, HUGS AND KISSES!
Allegra – Dallas, Texas
P.S. I saw you in Chicago last June for the 1st and 2nd nights. The I&E Tour was freakin’ awesome! Remember Joy whom you danced with? She’s one of my many U2 buddies. We’re both from Dallas. We want you to bring the show to Texas next time. You were truly missed! And…I also want to wish you and the band a very Happy 40th Anniversary this year! #U240
Happy, happy birthday dear Bono, and here’s to an extraordinary new year filled with music and sun and maybe some wine as well.
“Be joyful though you have considered all the facts.”
Thank you for all that you do.
