Bono has voiced his support for Madonna over her controversial adoption of a Malwian child.
The U2 frontman told The Sun: "Madonna should be applauded for helping to take a child out of the worst poverty imaginable and giving him a better chance in life. Baby David is lucky to have been adopted by someone who can give him a chance of survival in this world and I don’t think it’s fair that people are criticising her."
The singer, currently on tour in Australia, also cited a personal experience that he feels explains Madonna's actions : "About 20 years ago when my wife Ali and I went to Africa... a man who quite clearly loved his child came up to us and begged us to take him. It is heart-breaking, but he asked us to take his child home with us because he couldn’t feed him."
