    Bono's part-owned luxury property is at the centre of a stabbing shock

    Police and emergency services were called to a Hollywood Hills residence linked to the U2 frontman, 64, after reports of an alleged knifing there on Thursday (09.10.25) afternoon, it has emerged


    The 65-year-old musician, whose real name is Paul Hewson, is understood to be one of several investors in the luxury property, which remains under construction.

    The Los Angeles Police Department said officers responded to a 911 call at 1.20pm PT, confirming an investigation was under way, according to TMZ.

    Photos published by the Daily Mail showed several police vehicles parked at the entrance to the hillside home's long driveway.

    The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed both a fire engine and an ambulance were dispatched to the scene, while a helicopter was also seen circling overhead.

    Details surrounding the reported incident remain unclear.

    The property, believed to still be an active construction site, was not expected to be occupied by anyone other than contractors at the time.

    TMZ reported Bono was not involved in the event and is currently outside the United States.

    Sources told the Daily Mail the singer is one of multiple investors with a financial stake in the property, which is for sale privately and not listed on the Multiple Listing Service.

    Real estate professionals in Los Angeles are said to be aware the home is being shown discreetly to prospective buyers.

    Bono's connection to the project was first revealed in November 2023.

    The house - an architectural landmark perched above Fairfax Avenue with panoramic views of the Hollywood basin - was designed by architect Noah Walker and developed by Plus Development Group.

    Plus Development Group was co-founded by Tyrone McKillen, the son of Bono's longtime business partner Paddy McKillen.

    Bono and Paddy, who co-own a whiskey distillery in Ireland, have worked together on several ventures.

    Earlier this year, Paddy faced legal issues connected to separate business interests.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bono was seen visiting the property several times in 2023 to monitor progress on construction.

    The home features a triangular-shaped main residence, a multi-level guesthouse and an elongated pool that runs alongside the main structure.

    At the time his investment was made public, Bono was performing with U2 during the band's 40-date residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas, which concluded in March 2024.

    The shows reportedly generated around $1 million per concert.

    Bono has maintained a low profile since the residency ended, though he released the documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender in May 2025, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
