BONO: STORIES OF SURRENDER (2025)
Director: Andrew Dominik
Star: Bono
A revised edition of Bono’s extraordinary, bestselling memoir to accompany the upcoming Apple Original Films documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender. The revised edition and the Apple documentary are both based on Bono’s critically acclaimed theater show. The revised edition features a new introduction by the author and a selection of chapters from the original memoir. As frontman for legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band U2, Bono’s career has been written about extensively by others. In 2022, he picked up the pen to tell his story himself in the New York Times best-selling memoir Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, a candid, humorous and deeply personal account of a remarkable life. The writing process led to an unconventional book tour in the form of a live theater show, based on the book, which Bono performed across North America and Europe. This performance combined storytelling, dramatic readings and reimagined versions of U2’s iconic songs, all brought to life as a “quarter-man show” on stage. The upcoming Apple Original Films documentary, Bono: Stories of Surrender, captures the essence of this one-of-a-kind show while delving deeper into the family, friends, and faith that have shaped Bono’s life. A revised paperback edition of his memoir, also entitled Bono: Stories of Surrender, will be released alongside the film, refined to mirror the arc of his live performance. With a new introduction by Bono, the book invites readers into the front row of his fascinating, ever-evolving “work in progress” life.
