U2 lyrics that were handwritten by Bono have sold for €85,000 during a coronavirus charity auction. The sheet, which was also signed by the frontman, featured the words to his band’s 1987 hit, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.
It sold during the One Love Covid-19 Relief Auction, organised by the label Island Records, which raised a total of €200,296 for NHS Charities Together and Feeding America.
Nearly 800 people registered to bid and more than 3,250 bids were logged during the hour-long live broadcast. The lots also included handwritten and signed lyrics by Annie Lennox for Sweet Dreams, as well as a tour of the Abbey Road music studios in London.
