Bono has revealed what kind of music he wants played at his funeral.
The U2 singer says he wants the music to be supplied by Bob Dylan and Pavarotti reports NME.com.

He describes the funeral in a new book, Bono In Conversation, due to be published in April.

He said:"I would like lots of weeping and wailing. The music would have to be good. Bob Dylan singing Death Is Not The End. I think I'll have Pavarotti singing La Traviata."

I'm very encouraged by the thought he believes Dylan and Pavarotti will outlive him to sing at his funeral. Don't waste any time, Bono! You want to be sure and beat them to the grave so you can have the sendoff you desire!

Isn't this in fact a request for a particular Bob Marley song to be played?

If he becomes Prez of the World Bank he'll be able to BUY Pavarotti and Dylan both.
