Hi! I wrote a letter and sent IRC, SASE and two pics to Bono earlier this year (address: 4 Windmill Lane Dublin 2 Ireland). Got both pics back unsigned (and VERY damaged by glue) with a postcard saying he only signs for charity.

That's too bad.. I can't help feeling angry at him, I love this man and this band but he's forgetting his fans.. who got him where he is now?

They should sign for fans, but donate to charity. The fans gave them the power and wealth they have today, and yet we're forgotten!

Ah that ****... He lives really near me and I have seen him a few times , I got his autograph once years ago but I lost it! Il keep an eye out for him , like from what I have seen he doesnt sign so it would be cool to have his autograph and I could get it easily enough! I was thinking of writing to his home address for a charity thing...

Maybe they should something like "donate 5 bucks and we'll sign your autograph". I don't know. But yeah, I feel stupid receiving that card after all the money I spent on U2 concerts, records, CDs, VHSs, DVDs, tour programs... I just hope a good chunk of all that went to charity (yeah, right...).

More likely went towards another pair of sunglasses for Bono :lol:

I understand the whole charity thing, I support it but this is just a little too much really. Hey ROXYRORY, when you see him again, do go ask him for one, let's see if he can say this face to face to a fan.. I somehow doubt it :D

They don't sign for charity either.

We (Education Gambia ) are a registered charity in the uk and we sent an email to the address shown in the first post.
We did get a very prompt response but all it said was sorry cannot help. We even offered to send postage and a return envelope.

I'm thinking about writing again just to put out my frustration regarding their attitude. What do you guys think?

Initially I was tempted but as a newly registered charity I didn't want us getting into trouble. The thing that frustrated me was that the note shown on this forum said that they only sign for charity. They clearly do not sign for all charities and am surprised they turned us down as we are raising money for a childrens school in Gambia which is similar to what Band Aid was trying to do and Bono was heavilly involved in.
