The New York Times recently ran a long profile on U2, and though the band talked about a lot of things — their upcoming tour, the negative reaction to their Songs of Innocence/Apple partnership, Bono’s recovery from a bike crash, etc. — most people came away with the same singular reaction: Hey, Bono’s blonde now!
Turns out, this is just the latest evolution in a long line of Bono hairstyles. When you’re a rock star for 30-plus years, I guess the photogs catch you in a number of looks.
Here are some of the wildest chapters of Bono’s hair through the years:
