What a load of bollocks.
Humanitarian work? How about giving away some of the £400m+ that he's meant to be worth instead of making us feeling guilty for not living in the gutter. God I hate that man. Charity begins at home pecker-face.
I know citing an article from The Daily Mail is liking putting something like Wikipedia in an essay but this article has it spot on:

mind... have any of the 'honorary knighthoods' been absolutely justified? - no.
doesn't really surprise me tbh.
Bono has done a lot for charitable causes. There is a good point about him not being worthy of a distinction for dodging taxes, but then I suspect 90% of all people knighted would be in a similar position.
I don't deny that the guy is a talented musician and has a great voice. I personally can't stant U2 but I recognise that the guy is a great musician. However, using that to guilt-trip the rest of the world into feeling shit about living in a wealthy country is just plain wrong.
Hypocrisy - pure and simple.
Not so, more a case of how much do you really need when you can see people suffering?
If you have £400m, why can't you give £300 away? Isn't £100m enough?
He really does the guilt card dosent he? "Look at all these poor africans, give your money to help them" He really should put his money where is mouth is, and not move his royalites company off shore so he can get even richer and not pay the tax he should.
And I actually bought U2's new album for my sis.
