KEY POINTS:
NEW YORK - Rock star and activist Bono is adding another title to his resume: first-ever guest editor of Vanity Fair.
The U2 frontman will edit the US magazine's Africa-themed July issue, on newsstands in early June, on behalf of his Project RED campaign.
"We've talked about doing a special issue on Africa for a while now, and of course Bono came to mind during those discussions," said Vanity Fair Editor Graydon Carter.
Last May, Bono was guest editor of The Independent newspaper in London. He featured stories on HIV/Aids in Africa, poverty and global warming.
