Party time: Bono’s son Elijah to ring in new year

A PASSION for music runs in the family as Bono’s son Elijah is going to be ringing in the new year in Dublin with his band.

The budding rocker (19) is a member of the four-piece Dublin band Inhaler and will be performing at the 3Countdown Concert at Custom House Quay on December 31. Gavin James will be the headliner for the gig alongside Wild Youth and Hudson Taylor. Bono is a big supporter of his son’s musical endeavours and was said to have been spotted in the crowd at the group’s sold-out show at The Button Factory last December.
