Bono rocked the mic for days at Clinton Global Initiative, impersonating the former president at Tuesday's panel. The U2 frontman, wearing his trademark glasses, adopted Clinton's signature drawl.

The humorous talk "tawk" led in to a serious discussion, featuring Clinton, Bono, who is the the co-founder of AIDS prevention organizations ONE and (RED); Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund; Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook; and other nonprofit leaders. The group discussed the theme of this year's CGI, Mobilizing for Impact, focusing on how creating change requires leveraging resources and creating partnerships.
Continuing his Bill Clinton depiction, Bono brought up Chelsea Clinton's efforts to ramp up AIDS prevention.
"Then, I had Chelsea torture me about all this AIDS stuff, and we got to work on it," Bono carried on. "And the foundation did incredible work. Right now, we've got affordable AIDS drugs for everybody all over the world."
