Bono’s never been shy about being a Sinatra fan. At the ‘94 Grammy awards, Bono gave an impassioned introduction to the aging icon, calling Sinatra "living proof that God is Catholic". The same year, the U2 frontman got a chance to collaborate with his idol, trading lines with Old Blue Eyes on a new version of "I’ve Got You Under My Skin".
Now he’s at it again, with a reworked version of Sinatra’s signature tune "That’s Life". The song will appear in "The Good Thief", a new film from "Interview With A Vampire" director Neil Jordan. You can also catch two new U2 songs on the band’s up coming U2: Best Of 1990-2000 due Oct.04.
In other Bono news, the Irish icon will be contributing to a book on the African AIDS crisis. The book, called "The aWAKE Project", will also feature essays from Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu and UN Secretary General Koffi Annan. - MuchMusic
