I think that you could find a better opening sentence. And, the first sentence in your second paragraph doesn't make sense.
Bailey,
I think that you included all of the information but you could just go through and check all of you capitalization.
Andy
Its a great bio with a lot of information but add some more commas and watch your capitals. You also mentioned their grammy awards to many times. Other then that it is a great biography.

Hi Bailey,
I would take a look at your classmates' comments.I think they are worth considering.Also, watch out for run-ons.
ex:
This band and especially lead singer Bono had a concert in 1985 which was a concert to raise money for the needs in Africa which raised over 200 million dollars.
One thing I've noticed about your writing overall is that frequently your sentences could be more clearly stated.
ex:
With songs about the world, Christian, personal and family conflicts related back to not what U2 did for Rock and Roll but for the world.
Read this out loud slowly to someone, or better yet have them read it out loud to you. Does it sound the way you want?
