"I became an artist through the portal of grief."

"Bono (of U2) says the power of art is especially seen when tragedy strikes. He fell in love with music when his mother tragically died. 

"I became an artist through the portal of grief," Bono told Taylor. "My mother died at her own father's gravesite. As he was being lowered into the ground she had an aneurysm. I was 14." 

It was an event that changed his life forever and motivates him to touch the families of Manchester and the rest of the world with his music.
