Bono has been honoured as a 'Man of Peace' at a ceremony in France.
The U2 singer received the commendation from Paris Mayor Bertrand Delance on Friday.
The award was made in the presence of five Nobel Peace Prize winners, in recognition of his efforts to support causes in Africa.
The singer said: "This is a very big award for me, because let's be honest this is as close as I am going to get, as close as a rock star is ever going to get to the Nobel Peace Prize.
"I am an over-awarded, over-rewarded rock star. You are the people who do the real work", he told the laureates at the event.
U2 are expected to release a new album, "No Line On The Horizon", in 2009.
