‘Bono: Stories Of Surrender’: On Irish Fathers & Sons, Processing Family Tragedy & How A Need To Be Heard Propelled A Dublin Kid To Become One Of The World’s Biggest Rock Stars
‘Bono: Stories Of Surrender’: In a Q&A, the global rock star reveals why he chose Apple Vision Pro for his new documentary, and talks Irish father-son dynamics.
Culled from the U2 frontman’s 2023 one-man show at New York’s Beacon Theater, Bono weaves performances of his best-known hit songs into a tale of a youngster suffering the shocking loss of his mother and trying in vain to get the needed acknowledgment from a grieving father who withdrew and never mentioned his dead wife in their Dublin home. Apple pulled out all the stops here, and the technology places the viewer right up there onstage alongside Bono, close enough to see the faint scar in his chest where the heart surgeon saved his life. Here, Bono discusses why he felt this was the right vehicle for telling his story and why, after U2 christened The Sphere with sensory overload-level performances, it was important to him to help push the envelope on a more intimate technology that the Vision Pro promises.
