I'm the Imelda Marcos of sunglasses - Bono

Bono says he is the "Imelda Marcos of sunglasses" and claims he wears shades most of the time in public because he has "very sensitive eyes to light".

Bono says he is the "Imelda Marcos of sunglasses" and claims he wears shades most of the time in public because he has "very sensitive eyes to light".

The 45-year-old U2 frontman has rarely been seen out without a pair of expensive Bulagri shades since the early 90s.

He explains that if somebody takes his photograph, he will see the flash for the rest of the day and his right eye swells up.

Imelda Marcos, former First Lady of the Philippines, famously owned 3,000 pairs of shoes when her husband Ferdinand Marcos was president.
