His humanitarian campaigning has earnt him the nickname St Bono. Off duty, however, the U2 singer seems to have been tempted into a spot of hell-raising.
Pictures show the 48-year-old with his arm round two bikini-clad girls as they carouse at a beach bar in St Tropez. He also joined his angel-faced companions for more drinking and dancing aboard a private yacht.
Bono is usually seen in his role as rock star, family man and anti-poverty campaigner, work for which he earned an honorary knighthood. Only last week, he appeared at a conference to make a call to ‘change the world’ before taking his wife and children off to Disneyland in California.
Miss Feick and Miss Emerson posted pictures of the holiday on the Facebook website, open to the public in the site’s New York and French networks.
Miss Feick excitedly announced the trip in one public message to her friend, saying: ‘So Bono and Simon called me yesterday and they arrived in Cannes today, so looks like we’ll have a plan! :)’
The images show Bono wearing his trademark hat and sunglasses while drinking cocktails with the two girls at the Nikki Beach bar in St Tropez, famous for its ‘champagne battles’ where guests spray fizz at each other.
In one image, the Make Poverty History campaigner clutched Miss Feick’s hand to his chest theatrically while Carmody put his hand on Miss Emerson’s knee.
Later that evening, they took a stroll along the beach, where Bono put his arm around Miss Feick’s waist and then wrapped himself around Miss Emerson’s neck.
They made their way to a luxury yacht – thought to be the Cyan, a £12million, 140ft yacht with six cabins, owned by U2 guitarist The Edge.

Clean-looking girls. No tats or ectoparasites.
How many starving Africans could have been fed if the Big Mouth had simply stayed home in cloudy Dublin?
I never had the opportunity to decide whether I’d be willing to be married to a creep if it meant I’d be incredibly rich. (No rich creeps askeed me :-). I guess not: if I thought being rich was important, I’d do something about it!
Emerson nice ones!
OH SO NOT FUNNY!!!
You know my motto is: “I want to slap his big stupid glasses off his big stupid head!!!”
True. They’re clean-looking.
Probably similar to his own daughters (Jordan age 19, and Eve age 17).
:/
Bono is short for his nickname “Bono Vox” which supposedly translates out of Latin to mean “good voice.” Which makes me want to laugh.
His oldest daughter is the same age.
yuck.
Is this really newsworthy? He’s taking pictures with some young girls..With all the stuff going on in the world, again, is this really important?
Mr. Bono’s wife? I thought he and Cher were split up from way back?
It’s not at all interesting to note St. Bono’s hypocrisy when it appears in British papers, you’re right.
He looks very uncomfortable in pic 1.....
Me neither, thank you, God :)
Have you ever seen the movie, “ I Love You to Death”? Tis a personal favorite, of mine AND my daughter, winks. I suppose it must be genetic, VBG.
Tatt
Well other FReepers have cover, the pompousness, the irony, the ickiness (his own daughters are that age)...so all I can add is...
Somewhere the Edge weeps...he wasn't invited to come out and play.
Could be.. which is sad, of course. This guy’s famously rock-solid marriage appears to have a few blemishes, if she puts up with that nonsense. (Not to mention his being a fool.) Anyway, first thing I thought was how it’s Facebook and Myspace that continue to trip people up who think they’re acting so anonymously.
Now that is a yacht!!! Kudos to Mrs. Edge on the great decor.
“Bono has the same rare mtDNA as my mother, haplogroup ‘V’...as do 52% of the Skoat Sa’ami (reindeer herders)of northern Finland. “
LOL !!!
