Grammy awards - U2 are still rocking after 25 years

IN global terms, U2’s Bono was not exaggerating when he compared the band winning five Grammy awards to Ireland winning the World Cup.

By any standard, this was an astonishing achievement for the Irish group.

Scooping every award they were nominated for in the prestigious Los Angeles showpiece, the quartet now have a career haul of 21 Grammys and rank sixth place on the all-time list of winners.
