His humanitarian campaigning has earnt him the nickname St Bono. Off duty, however, the U2 singer seems to have been tempted into a spot of hell-raising.
Pictures show the 48-year-old with his arm round two bikini-clad girls as they carouse at a beach bar in St Tropez. He also joined his angel-faced companions for more drinking and dancing aboard a private yacht.
Bono is usually seen in his role as rock star, family man and anti-poverty campaigner, work for which he earned an honorary knighthood. Only last week, he appeared at a conference to make a call to ‘change the world’ before taking his wife and children off to Disneyland in California.
Miss Feick and Miss Emerson posted pictures of the holiday on the Facebook website, open to the public in the site’s New York and French networks.
Miss Feick excitedly announced the trip in one public message to her friend, saying: ‘So Bono and Simon called me yesterday and they arrived in Cannes today, so looks like we’ll have a plan! :)’
The images show Bono wearing his trademark hat and sunglasses while drinking cocktails with the two girls at the Nikki Beach bar in St Tropez, famous for its ‘champagne battles’ where guests spray fizz at each other.
In one image, the Make Poverty History campaigner clutched Miss Feick’s hand to his chest theatrically while Carmody put his hand on Miss Emerson’s knee.
Later that evening, they took a stroll along the beach, where Bono put his arm around Miss Feick’s waist and then wrapped himself around Miss Emerson’s neck.
They made their way to a luxury yacht – thought to be the Cyan, a £12million, 140ft yacht with six cabins, owned by U2 guitarist The Edge.

If cavorting with teenage girls in St. Tropez in front of cameras doesn’t getcha, Facebook will. Long live the Internet!
Just damn! I wanna be a rock star too! Can Obama get me on equal footing with Bono!!!
She’ll probably say “F-—ing Brilliant!”
I wonder if Obama can spread some of that wealth
Fixed.
The demise of the Rocker has been facilitated by young groupies “rating” the Rocker very publically on websites. Giving description of the rocket and how it’s used.
I’m sure his wife’s being paid plenty to pretend this sort of thing doesn’t happen.
Bono has the same rare mtDNA as my mother, haplogroup 'V'...as do 52% of the Skoat Sa'ami (reindeer herders)of northern Finland.
His fans won’t care, regardless of what his wife thinks, and his wife probably cares only as much as Carmilla Soprano.
Anybody see that “Behind the Music” episode about rock star fidelity where they talked to the wives.
The wives accept it.
>His humanitarian campaigning has earnt him the nickname St Bono.<
What say you, isn’t this being humanitarian?
Nothing saying the girls were under age of consent, so who cares? (ok, wives may)
Not guilty!
Shocking news indeed!
I look forward to an Obama administration where the government will allow me to be anyone I want and the rest of you will have to just put up with it...ahhhhhh...I have already sent my letter to the Messiah requesting either the lifestyle of Bono or the bank account of Jimmy Buffett.
It’s good to be the king...
It’s good to be Bono.
Lol. For a woman like me, there is not enough money in the world to put up with that.
When you are Bono you are required to do it. Also, who wouldn’t get their picture taken with those girls?
His favorite artist is Balthus ...
Clean-looking girls. No tats or ectoparasites.
How many starving Africans could have been fed if the Big Mouth had simply stayed home in cloudy Dublin?
I never had the opportunity to decide whether I’d be willing to be married to a creep if it meant I’d be incredibly rich. (No rich creeps askeed me :-). I guess not: if I thought being rich was important, I’d do something about it!
Emerson nice ones!
OH SO NOT FUNNY!!!
You know my motto is: “I want to slap his big stupid glasses off his big stupid head!!!”
True. They’re clean-looking.
Probably similar to his own daughters (Jordan age 19, and Eve age 17).
:/
Bono is short for his nickname “Bono Vox” which supposedly translates out of Latin to mean “good voice.” Which makes me want to laugh.
His oldest daughter is the same age.
yuck.
Is this really newsworthy? He’s taking pictures with some young girls..With all the stuff going on in the world, again, is this really important?
Mr. Bono’s wife? I thought he and Cher were split up from way back?
It’s not at all interesting to note St. Bono’s hypocrisy when it appears in British papers, you’re right.
He looks very uncomfortable in pic 1.....
Me neither, thank you, God :)
Have you ever seen the movie, “ I Love You to Death”? Tis a personal favorite, of mine AND my daughter, winks. I suppose it must be genetic, VBG.
Tatt
Well other FReepers have cover, the pompousness, the irony, the ickiness (his own daughters are that age)...so all I can add is...
Somewhere the Edge weeps...he wasn't invited to come out and play.
Could be.. which is sad, of course. This guy’s famously rock-solid marriage appears to have a few blemishes, if she puts up with that nonsense. (Not to mention his being a fool.) Anyway, first thing I thought was how it’s Facebook and Myspace that continue to trip people up who think they’re acting so anonymously.
Now that is a yacht!!! Kudos to Mrs. Edge on the great decor.
“Bono has the same rare mtDNA as my mother, haplogroup ‘V’...as do 52% of the Skoat Sa’ami (reindeer herders)of northern Finland. “
LOL !!!
Money for nothing and the chicks for free!!!!
So, I guess to many here, adultery is okay.
LOL!!!
No, I’ve never seen it. Looks interesting, but I’d have to rent it when my husband’s at Scout camp, or he’d think I have ideas ...
I've warned my kids that they'll never get away with being drunk and stupid, the way I did a few times. Too many people taking pictures!
Yeah, like she didn’t know that was going to be part of the package.
Lol! Well, even my DH likes it... and he is Italian, on his Mom’s side ; p
It really is a very funny movie, with so many excellent performances. It ranks right up there after Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Galaxy Quest, and Young Frankenstein, at our place.
Alright, I think I am about through hijacking this thread ; }
Tatt
Two out of three - I didn’t like “Galaxy Quest.”
And you can’t hijack a celebrity gossip thread :-).
