U2 lead singer Bono discovered he had another brother 22 years ago, after learning his late father Bob Hewson had a relationship with another woman.

The frontman and humanitarian told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs that he is “at peace” with the situation, which he found out in 2000, the year before his father died.
