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 hearbreakingin 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

Ashallythe beardedwife takes great pleasure when this question comes up at quiz nights and on TV quiz shows, in shouting at everyone saying Nillson didn't write it.
He's full of irrelevant facinating facts.
