Bono’s real first name is Paul and the writing does not look like it is in his hand. There is an author named David Hewson, this may be his signature?

Agreed. His name is Paul Hewson, and for the past 45 years or so the only place you might find that signature is on contracts. And that's definitely not his handwriting.

Thanks for the replies. Must be someone who thought it would be amusing to sign like that. Who’s knows what the story behind this is.

I am not familiar with Bono's signature but Sting once signed a book for me as "Gordon Sumner, aka ´Sting`",

It can happen!

Actually on closer inspection it does look more like Paul. It seems someone did sign it as Paul Hewson AKA Bono.
