Bono's legacy the music

Bono

U2 frontman Bono says he would rather be remembered for his music than his political activism.

The singer said he wanted to see what could happen when a band resisted burning out and carried on making "extraordinary" music".

"Actually, oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten," he said. "And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away."
