Irish singer Bono has spoken of the 'bumps and scratches' his Christian faith has received following a number of health scares.
In an interview with the Telegraph, the U2 front man has spoken about his emergency spinal surgery in 2010 and a bicycle accident which left him hospitalised in New York back in 2014.
He said: "My faith was something I never had to explain to myself. I was at home with its incoherence and contradictory patterns.
"It did take some bumps and scratches this time, if I'm honest. But I've emerged with gratitude for being alive."
Throughout his life, Bono has consistently spoken about the importance of faith to him.
Just last year he spoke of his love of the Psalms.
