Queen Elizabeth II has announced that U2's Bono will be granted an honorary knighthood.
Bono will receive his award in recognition of his work for music and activism. However, because he is an Irish citizen and not British, he will not be entitled to use the title 'Sir'.Previously, the honorary title has been given to Bill Gates, Rudolf Giuliani, Steven Spielberg and Placido Domingo.
In 2003, Bono was given the equivalent of the French honor, the Legion D'Honneur by President Jacques Chirac.
