Bono to receive new cultural honour from French government

Bono is to receive another honour from the French government — even though he already has the Légion d’honneur on his mantlepiece.

The U2 singer is set to receive France’s highest cultural honour and will be made a commander of the order of arts and letters, according to the department of culture and communications.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Paris this evening, according to government sources.
