Bono’s ‘Stories of Surrender’ book tour is coming to Los Angeles in November
U2 vocalist Bono announced dates for a 14-city book tour in support of his forthcoming memoir, “Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story,” due out Nov. 1.
The “Stories of Surrender” tour, produced by Live Nation, includes shows in intimate venues around the world where the Dublin-born singer-songwriter will share stories from the book. The tour kicks off at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Nov. 2 and comes to the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on Nov. 13.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7 at Ticketmaster.com/bono. Each ticket purchased includes a copy of the book and there is a two-ticket limit per person.
“I miss being on stage and the closeness of U2’s audience,” Bono said in a press release. “In these shows I’ve got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell … plus I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, ‘Surrender,’ which is really more of a WE-moir if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here.”
The book details Bono’s life as he reflects on challenges he’s faced, his activism, rise to superstardom and the friends and family who helped shape his personal life and career along the way. The book’s subtitle, “40 Songs, One Story,” refers to the book’s 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. Bono’s also created 40 original drawings, which are featured throughout the memoir.
