| Jennifer O`Brien with Bono |
ROCK God Bono reckons Bill Gates has changed the entire world TWICE.
He showed tycoon pal Bill around Dublin this week — and was full of praise for the billionaire’s giving nature.
Bono said: “Bill didn’t just change the world once with Microsoft. He’s changed it twice, because what they are doing with vaccinations is a giant thing if you live in certain parts of the world — saving countless lives.”
Bono and Bill enjoyed a few late night tipples at the plush Westbury hotel, with the U2 frontman revealing: “He’s a good friend and it was terrific to have him here in Ireland.”
The rock star appeared alongside Bill and his wife Melinda on the cover of Time when the trio were named the magazine’s People of the Year in 2005.
Bono added: “There’s now 160 people working in two charity organisations I am involved with — Red and One — and that’s because of Bill and Melinda.”
Bono and his wife Ali, accompanied by The Edge and his wife Morleigh, supported pal Guggi at the launch of his latest exhibition in Dublin on Thursday.
The Edge revealed U2’s new album is well on its way. He said: “We’re looking at having it out around the end of the summer.”
