Hawkins attacks Bono's ego

The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has slammed Irish rocker Bono for "fuelling his ego" by arranging an audience with late Pope John Paul II.

The I Believe In A Thing Called Love rocker can see no logical reason for the 2000 meeting between Bono and the head of the Catholic Church, because he believes the Pope was, by then, too senile to acknowledge the U2 star's presence.
