U2 is my favorite band.\u00a0 And, Bono is one of my heroes.<\/p>\n
I’m not alone. For millions around the world, Bono is more than just the iconic frontman of U2 \u2014 he\u2019s a voice for justice, humanity, and now, heart valve patients. Diagnosed with severe aortic valve disease and an aortic aneurysm, Bono needed emergency heart surgery in 2016. The complex procedure was performed by Dr. David Adams<\/a>, the Cardiac Surgeon-in-Chief of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, who has successfully treated many patients in our community.<\/p>\n Now, Bono is sharing his life in a deeply personal way with his new film “Bono: Stories of Surrender,”<\/a> that is streaming on Apple TV. Based on his bestselling memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story<\/em>, the film explores Bono\u2019s extraordinary journey, his near-death experience with heart disease, and the strength it takes to keep going \u2014 in music and in life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
