Alicia Keys has said that Bono from U2 gave her invaluable career advice.

The 29-year-old said that he urged her to appreciate the fame she has and use it to make a difference in the world.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she said: "[Fame's] a currency - you must use it well or lose it. Bono told me that, and I totally agree. Now I've achieved a certain level of fame I know I must make good use of it, especially as I've been around the world and know suffering in a way I didn't before."

She added: "That's why I launched my charity Keep A Child Alive. I was so moved to meet people in Africa who have so little and yet are so generous, people who've been to hell and back but retain their dignity and are fighting for their dreams. The charity gives people the chance to chase those dreams."

It is rumoured that Alicia Keys is expecting a baby with her fiance, US rapper - Swizz Beatz, check out the snaps - what do you think?
