The U2 frontman has had quite a few "brushes with death."  In 2010, he was laid up with a spinal injury he suffered while preparing for the band's concert tour.  In 2014 he was involved in a high-speed bicycle accident.  His injuries required five hours of surgery to repair.  Then, in late 2016, it was reported that he had a physical health scare, on which he declined to elaborate.  His bandmate, The Edge, was quoted as saying that Bono had a "brush with mortality."

U2 has maintained a long relationship with Apple long before that time they made a majority of people mad by putting their new album on everyone's iPhone. 

Fourteen years ago today (October 26), Bono and The Edge joined Steve Jobs for the unveiling of the U2 Special Edition iPod, which held up to 5,000 songs, was black with a red click wheel (to go with the color scheme of their latest album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb) and featured the band's signatures engraved on the back of the device.

Just seeing how quaint that iPod is now is just a reminder of how far we've come with our technology!
