BONO COLLECTS AWARD FOR LATE IRISH MUSICAL 'KING'

U2 frontman BONO will collect an honour in New York on Friday (03Oct08) - on behalf of RONNIE DREW, the late lead singer of Irish folk band THE DUBLINERS.

Bono once said of Drew, "Ronnie is like the King of Ireland and we are his subjects."

how appropriate that Bono pick up the Spirit of Ireland award awarded to one of his idols, Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners. Bono has said that Ronnie Drew was the King of Ireland while he lived.
