Bono Takes Family To The Races...

Irish Rock Gods U2 are prepping themselves for gargantuan year of touring and promoting their latest album so it was nice to see Bono getting in some quality family time over the Christmas...

BONO & ALI @ LEOPARDSTOWN

Each year every city on the planet has it's own festive traditions - in Dublin it's generally some last minute shopping in Brown Thomas on Christmas Eve followed by drinks in the Shelbourne Hotel. Christmas Day is usually spent with the family in the suburbs followed by frantically looking for a house party and a designated driver! But without fail it's always St Stephen's Day spent at the Leopardstown Races with a hip-flask...

BONO & ELIJAH @ LEOPARDSTOWN

And that's where ShowBiz Ireland caught up with Bono and the rest of his tribe as they enjoyed the chilly sunshine and no doubt a few bets at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival 2004.

ELIJAH HEWSON @ LEOPARDSTOWN

And even though it was rumoured that Mr. Hewson was going to St. Tropez for the Crimbo it was great to see him playing super-dad to his two boys Elijah Bob (6) and John Abraham (4) as they each grasped their favourite new toy at the crowded race course.

JOHN HEWSON @ LEOPARDSTOWN

We also spotted a stunning teenage girl with the Bono party who looked very similar to his wife Ali in the background... We can only assume it's his 14 year old daughter Memphis Eve or perhaps his 16 year old Jordan?

MEMPHIS HEWSON? @ LEOPARDSTOWN

Either way we're sure ShowBiz Ireland's readers will let us know...

Well Happy New Year to the Hewsons and all ShowBiz Ireland readers across the globe!
