The revelation comes four months after the U2 frontman first revealed he had a sibling, whose parentage had been kept a family mystery for decades. Bono told host Lauren Laverne that his half-brother, who did not reveal at the time, was born after an affair in the 1960s between his father Bob and a 'gorgeous lady,' on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. Now he has disclosed that the woman was his aunt Barbara and that their child is Scott Rankin, a stock market analyst and civil servant.
