In Memory Of Aaron Govern
By now you’ve probably heard that the U2 community recently lost one of its most prominent and beloved members.

17th Annual Build A Well For Bono's Birthday Fundraiser
It’s been a quiet few months for U2, but now that May has rolled around again it’s time for the 17th annual Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday fundraiser. It can be difficult to find an appropriate gift for the man who has everything, so we’re here to help. Fittingly, the theme for 2019 is “Love Is Bigger,” a popular refrain from last year’s Experience + Innocence Tour. As usual, the fundraiser will run the entire month of May, and will feature a full-day Tweetathon on May 10.
