Who designed Bono's black leather jacket with the red star from the Elevation Tour? Can I buy a similar jacket?

The jacket was designed especially for Bono by a designer named Todd Lynn, and was not produced for retail sale.

Alright, here's another. Let's see if you can answer this one!

How did Bono get that scar on his chin during The Joshua Tree Tour?

I heard while in Arizona rehearsing for the opening night of The Joshua Tree tour, Bono fell backwards off the stage while holding a small spotlight. The spotlight hit Bono in the chin, forcing him to get stitches at a local hospital.

It's Mario Lanza in the photo.

Would you like some history on this fellow? Well, here it comes!!

Mario Lanza was an American opera-style singer in the 1950. He had no formal training but sang in a light operatic style in several MGM musicals. He was touted as "the American Caruso." In fact, Mario was a truck driver from Philadelphia and could handle neither the stress of fame nor MGM's insistence that he sing like Caruso but weigh only slightly more than his leading ladies. He died of a heartattack in his mid 30's. Bono said in an interview with Spin magazine that Mario Lanza's singing impressed him as a child.

What happened to the giant lemon used during PopMart?

Well in an interview with Willie Williams in Q magazine in the Fall of 2002, Willie revealed that The PopMart Lemon is in pieces stored in three different warehouses in Belgium.

Also, the giant olive and toothpick were revealed to be in storage in Dublin. It had been previously revealed that the arch had been deconstructed and used to make up portions of the heart shaped stage during the Elevation tour.

Some singer claims that Bono has had a hair transplant. Is that true?

Coldplay singer Chris Martin made the comment to Britain's Q magazine. He said: "Someone famous, someone who knows, told me Bono's had a hair transplant. Can you believe it? Bono? Some of those tufts have been stitched in. So there's hope for me yet."

A U2 spokesperson laughed off that claim, saying "What a load of nonsense."

Yes. Bono had to have an exam for his insurance company. He had too much chest hair for the doctor to be able to hear his heartbeat so they shaved part of it off. That's where the story comes from.

Also, he has also randomly shaved it to look sexy!

I have the question. The winner gets to be a u2 fan.

Who is the fifth u2 member?plays keyboards on Original of the species.
 
Terry Lawless plays keyboards on OOTS, though I wouldn't call him the fifth U2 member (Brian Eno and Dik Evans both have more valid claims to that title).
 
Actually Adam's penis should be considered U2's 5th member. I don't know if it can play keyboards though.
