Bono may give Oils the sweetest thing
By Peter Holmes
U2 singer Bono has been asked to induct Midnight Oil into the ARIA
Hall of Fame early next year during the Irish rock band's Australian
tour.
The members of the two bands, known for their commitment to social
causes, have been friends since the mid-1980s.
While ARIA Hall Of Fame boss Mark Pope refused to comment, it is
understood the association has approached Bono to make the presentation.
If Bono agrees, the Hall Of Fame dinner will be scheduled around U2's
Melbourne concerts on March 24 and 25 at the Telstra Dome.
U2's previous show is on March 21, leaving a window for Bono to
attend an ARIA Hall Of Fame knees-up on March 22 or 23.
During a previous tour, the band is believed to have dined with
Midnight Oil singer, Peter Garrett and family at their southern
highlands property.
