A Message to Our Readers:
As you may have noticed, we have taken down the two interviews we posted with members of the band U2. After speaking with RMP, U2's publicity agency, and conducting our own thorough investigation, we have come to the conclusion that these interviews, and many forum posts, most likely did not come from members of the band so we have decided to remove them out of good faith toward U2 and the U2 fan community. We hope this action will allow all of us to put our focus back on the upcoming album release, tour and all that goes along with it.
It has been almost a month since the first interview was posted and, at this point, we do not know with any certainty whether this situation arose because of a simple misunderstanding or an elaborate hoax. In hindsight, could we have done more at the time of the interviews and posts to undeniably prove things one way or the other? You can always do something more, we made this decision based on our judgement of the entire situation at the time.
Despite accusations, no persons from this staff was or is involved in any misrepresentation or deception on the forums or in interviews. We want all of you to know that we have never, and would never, knowingly post anything false or inaccurate. RMP understands that we did not maliciously post fake U2 interviews and forum posts, and we hope you can as well.
The goal of the senior staff of Interference.com is to bring the best U2 news and original content to our readers. We hope that we can put this situation behind us and can count on your continued readership and support, and that as a staff we can get back to the task at hand-- running this site.
Sincerely,
The Interference.com Senior Staff

I missed the whole thing, but I'm sure I would've fallen for it, too. It's not our fault someone else decided to be a jerk. If anyone made a fool out of him/herself it was the poser!
