Bono or Bono

Do you pronounce our Showman as Bo-no or Bon-no. I say Bo-no (as in french 'beau'). I think I'm doing it wrong. How do you pronounce his name?

there's funny story than Bono tells of meeting Sonny Bono in an elevator and they didn't say a word to eachother and Bono didn't think SB knew who he was, and as SB was exiting he turned around and said 'It's pronounced Bo-no.'

I find it hard to believe that Bono would stand in an enclosed space and not speak to another famous person present.
