Showing up for an important day in Sydney, Australia, Bono was spotted talking to press ahead of the lighting of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge on Tuesday (November 30).
Joined by bandmate The Edge, the U2 front man was chosen to flick the switch to turn the iconic buildings red in honor of AIDS Day 2010.
World AIDS Day is coming up on December 1st and helps to raise awareness of the ongoing fight against the AIDS epidemic with more than 80 iconic landmarks across 13 countries set to light up red for the awareness day.
In related news, Bono and The Edge recently spoke with MTV about their work on the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" - saying that comic books and rock music go together delightfully.
"There's always been a thing with punk rock bands and comics," Bono said. "It's always been there. Even the Ramones, who are also from Queens [New York] like Peter Parker and Mary Jane, they covered the theme to Spider-Man."
"It goes through all, not just rock and roll culture, it's in modern art," he added. "You see it in Roy Lichtenstein's work, all the pop artists' work; they all sample from comics."
