Brian Johnson: Bono Should Do His Charity Work In Private
AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson isn’t impressed with the charity work done by musical peers like Bono of U2 and Bob Geldof, preferring to donate in private. “I do it myself, I don’t tell everybody I’m doing it,” Johnson told the Herald Sun. “I don’t tell everybody they should give money – they can’t afford it. When I was a working man I didn’t want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa. I’m sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done. It just makes me angry. I become all tyrannical.”
