Merry Christmas one and all: Bono joined Glen Hansard (right) and friends on Dublin's St Stephen's Green on Christmas EveBono's charity work takes him all around the world.
But on Christmas Eve, charity began at home for the U2 frontman as he joined some musician friends in Dublin city centre for a busking session.
Shoppers buying last-minute gifts for Christmas in the capital's Grafton Street were thrilled to see Bono singing his heart.
Merry Christmas everyone: The famous group drew quite a crowd in Dublin City CentreHis friend, Oscar-winning musician Glen Hansard invited Bono to join him and Mundy, Declan O'Rourke and Hothouse Flowers rocker Liam O'Maonlai to busk for charity.
Although the group started off in Grafton Street, they were soon moved to the entrance of St Stephen's Green Park due to safety concerns.
After the 51-year-old rocker made an appearance at the busking session last Christmas Eve, fans were expecting him to show up again, so quite the crowd was drawing on the busy shopping thoroughfare.
Hansard was announced the busking session on Friday on his Twitter page and urged people to donate money for two homeless charities.
He said: 'Busking with some friends tomorrow on Grafton St... Come and throw a coin in the box for Simon Community and the Peter McVerry trust. It's not our place to judge why people are homeless... It's our place to help shelter the cold and hungry.. The rest is up to them.
'We'll start sometime after 3. Thanks for the support!'
