During his appearance on 'Colbert', the frontman also told "a story as to how we got to this song"
"I was born with an eccentric heart," the U2 frontman wrote in his new memoir, 'Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story'
"[I'd] fallen asleep in the bosom of Abraham himself"
The singer had a tumultuous relationship with his dad
"I must have known that something was up," he wrote
Bono said the band want to release “a noisy, uncompromising, unreasonable guitar album”
He originally thought, "what was the worst that could happen?"
In his new memoir, the frontman claims the band were targeted by the IRA, gangsters and a far right group
