wrong song...
if only Bono HAD killed himself.
You're thinking about the Without You, written by Badfinger.
And I think it was probably more to do with his financial problems, alcoholism and mental breakdown than the fact that daft bint wrecked his beuatiful song...
EDIT: he killed himself in 1983...
And, the original version is truly heartbreaking

Is it truly hearbreaking
in the way that a 12 year old cripple saves his 2 year old sister from a fire only to perish himself (i.e. very) or heartbreaking in the way that Sinaed O'Connor's, Nothing Compares 2 U video is heartbreaking (i.e. not at all)

The first one...
with the added irony that the guys who wrote it hardly made a penny out of it, and everyone thinks Harry Nillson wrote it
