I'm not one for a public display of my life. However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I'm not harming anyone.

Maroon 5's Adam Levine will never go solo. He tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Look at a band like U2 that has been around forever - I'm not sure how people would react to a record called Bono. I don't want to ever be that person. It's much cooler to be in a band with my bros."

 

Bono did not become a billionaire when Facebook went public. He tells MSNBC, “Contrary to reports, I’m not a billionaire or going to be richer than any Beatle — and not just in the sense of money, by the way, the Beatles are untouchable — those billionaire reports are a joke.”
