It's not been a good few months for Bono, bless him.

First there was controversy surrounding the free iTunes giveaway of U2's 'Songs of Innocence', he was involved in a near-miss on a flight in early November, then he went and fell off his bike in New York last week.

To cap off a crappy year, he and his bandmates have now been named the world's 'least influential' people by GQ, with the magazine criticising the band's big payday for the stunt, saying "The worst part was the way both Apple and U2 treated this, like it was some kind of noble gift to The People; in fact this was a $100 million marketing campaign."

Robin Thicke was the only other musician on the list. Double ouch.

From all of us at Entertainment.ie, this one goes out to you, Bono...
