Bono: 'My kids think I'm embarrassing'

Bono has reportedly admitted that his two teenage daughters find him embarrassing.

According to ThisIsLondon, the U2 frontman told Absolute Radio that Jordan, 19, and Memphis Eve, 17, are worried that he will "bore the a**e" of his celebrity friends.

Recounting a visit by Jay-Z and Beyoncé to the family home in St. Tropez, he said: "I went in to get some wine out of the fridge and I heard [Jordan] talking to her friends.

"And I heard her saying, 'He's probably boring their a***s off talking about Africa'. And actually I think I was at the time. Not boring their a***s off... Actually, I probably was."

He added that his daughters are equally unimpressed with his taste in music, saying: "There was a funny moment on the last tour when there were formal objections by our kids to... [what] was being played at the aftershow party."

U2's new album No Line On The Horizon is released on March 2.
