Correction; U2 the whole group and their manager donated 6 million DOLLARS (£3.3 mill at the time) from the profits of their Vertigo tour which included a Live8 concert.
These are the kind of charity donations that are done like a business deal; theyre buying good publicity and getting tax breaks for their donations too.
Either way, not quite the "£6mill of his own money" you suggest. His share was apparently more like £665k reading reports.
