Bono, the iconic U2 rocker, is getting candid about living under the spotlight and the identity crisis that came with it.

In an exclusive artist's statement for his new AppleTV+ film, 'Bono: Stories of Surrender', Bono, 65, opens up about grappling with fame and the desire to show his true self.

"The great conflict that follows becoming famous is between wanting to be known and wanting to be hidden," Bono writes. "The more exposed you are, the more you want to hide — which leads to masks and makeup and adopting a series of false faces."

Bono spent the past five years trying to "expose" who he really is, which led to the creation of his 2022 memoir 'SURRENDER: 40 SONGS, ONE STORY', and eventually, a stage adaptation and now a documentary.

The documentary, 'Bono: Stories of Surrender', is a vivid reimagining of Bono's critically acclaimed one-man stage show, Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief…", which features Bono performing many of the iconic U2 songs that have shaped his life and legacy.

Bono's journey to self-discovery led to the creation of his memoir, which he thought was for himself, but ended up being a way to show his true self.

"The past five years have been an extended period of my trying to expose my real face," Bono writes. "When the planet locked down, I picked up a spade and began the work of excavating my own memories. Writing it all down. I told myself it was for myself. No one else would ever need to read it."
