Bono has opened up about his strained relationship with Michael Hutchence.
In his new memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, Bono reflected on his friendship with the late INXS frontman, which began when Hutchence was dating British rock journalist and television presenter Paula Yates in the early 90s.
The famous couple first met when Yates was married to Bob Geldof, the frontman of The Boomtown Rats.

Despite sharing three children together – Fifi, born in 1983, Peaches, born in 1989, and Pixie, born in 1990 – the couple’s marriage was shrouded by persistent rumours of Geldof’s infidelity.
But in the end, it was Yates who strayed from the marriage.
In 1994, Yates interviewed Hutchence on Big Breakfast - a British morning show that involved Yates interviewing musicians and celebrities on a cow-print bed.
From the moment the interview began, the chemistry between the pair was undeniable. And just four months later, Yates left her husband for Hutchence.
As Bono shared in his book, the duo's relationship was intense.
"Paula worshipped Michael at a time when he needed all the adoration he could get, things not going well on- and offstage for INXS," he wrote in a book excerpt shared by Apple News..
