Bono's unforgettable fireplace

Bono has issues with the fireplaces at his Manhattan apartment

Bono is grappling with a new version of the unforgettable fire. The rocker-activist is reportedly embroiled in a flap over fireplaces at his Manhattan apartment building.

The U2 frontman has reportedly told co-op board members at the stately San Remo that smoke from other residents' fireplaces is wafting into his penthouse duplex. The singer told the board that one of his four children has asthma.

Principle Management, the company that manages U2, said the singer was raising a safety concern.

"This is not a Bono issue," a Principle Management representative said."It's a building issue. It's about health and safety regulations."
