Bono Goes Classical
U2 frontman Bono is planning to swap rock for classical music after bidding for a massive catalogue of orchestral music.
The Beautiful Day rocker's private equity firm Elevation Partners is offering $234 million (GBP130 million) for 200-year-old publishing company Boosey And Hawkes.
The company owns the rights to compositions by legends Stravinsky and Rachmaninov.
