Provocateur extraordinaire Piers Morgan is in high spirits when I catch him on the phone. He tells me a story about his duet with Bono at a party, back when he was editor of the Daily Mirror.

“We ended up singing it between the three of us – but mainly me and Bono actually. It was Tony Blair, who was then British prime minister, watching me and Bono singing in the back garden.”
