Bono became a knight of the British empire on Thursday in a ceremony at the British Ambassador's residence in Dublin.

Because he is an Irish citizen, Bono won't have the title of "sir" before his name. That honor is reserved for citizens of the United Kingdom or British Commonwealth countries. Ireland left the Commonwealth when it became a republic in 1949.

I've also found that Bono has published a book entitled On the Move (as in God is on the move to help those who cannot help themselves). It is a book format of a speech he gave at the National Prayer Breakfast. I see one source that says the book will be published April 3rd and another that says it was published March 17, but either way you should be able to get your hands on it immediately.

In other musician turned author news, Christian band Delirious is publishing a book in April called "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever". These are the guys who wrote the song by the same title, as well as "Shout to the North", "Deeper" and "Rain Down". Click here to read the first chapter.
