Bono plagued by problem fireplaces

Bono has complained about smoke from other residents' fireplaces entering his Manhattan penthouse, and his management says it is a building issue.

Big news this. Bono has taken issue with management at the Manhattan apartment building he shares with his family, because smoke from other flats' fireplaces is escaping into his penthouse duplex. Nice, wish I had one of those. Anyway, he seems to have also taken it up with the building's residents board. I think. Because a woman called Leni May is quoted as saying "Bono was so nice. He said, 'Listen, whatever I can do to get these things working, but it's emptying into my apartment and I can't have smoke like that'." Apparently one of his four children has asthma.

Anyway, the singer's management company has said made a statement about it all. "This is not a Bono issue," they said. "It's a building issue. It's about health and safety regulations".
