U2’s Bono talks about ‘almost dying’
Bono
London - Muslimchronicle
U2 singer Bono’s inspiration for his latest album Songs of Experiencecame from a near-death experience.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine for its January 2018 issue, he said he almost died but refused to divulge details about what happened, adding that the 22-time Grammy-winning band’s latest album explores the theme of mortality.
“It’s just a thing that...people have these extinction events in their lives; it could be psychological or it could be physical. And, yes, it was physical for me, but I think I have spared myself all that soap opera,” Bono said.
“Especially with this kind of celebrity obsession with the minutiae of peoples’ lives — I have got out of that. I want to speak about the issue in a way that lets people fill in the blanks of what they have been through, you know?”
He continued, “It’s one thing if you were talking about it in a place of record like Rolling Stone, but by the time it gets to your local tabloid it is just awful. It becomes the question that everyone is asking.”

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
