'Til death do them part: Bono believes unshakable U2 will stay together until they die | Daily Mail

 

[last unicorn]

^ Did Bono really say this? Doesn't sound like something he would say and kind of contradicts what they usually say about ending it when they start to become irrelevant. Just watch the latest Q and A from Toronto.

I believe this story is just something tabloids made up or some twisted Bono comment, it's all over the news and they make it sound overly dramatic.

Well , Bono compares being in a band , like being in the priesthood.
The only way out of the priesthood is between 6 wooden planks.
So in a way. He is saying U2 will stay together till death them parts.
Tabloids are tabloids , and over dramatise things, so yeah your right in a way. He never said it that literally as far as I know.

From the Ireland "Independent":

U2 documentary is excruciating -- Bono - Film & Cinema, Entertainment - Independent.ie

concert of a lifetime

Clinton Foundation Concert on Yahoo! - Celebrating a Decade of Difference

Lady Gaga, Usher, U2's The Edge and Bono, and other stars will gather in October to honor President Clinton’s charitable work and 65th birthday.




That's one strange line-up.

Just hope Lady Gaga and Usher won't be on stage with our boys.

This, this, this.

 

[mtnfox]

Supposedly The Edge will perform a separate acoustic set.

 

[trojanchick99]

I am so going to this. I might even spring for douchebag seats if I have to. Oh and I would LOVE to see Gaga perform with Bono & Edge.

 

[corianderstem]

She'd HAVE to do Edge of Glory, right? Or at least just sing a quick chorus right at him?

She should come out piggyback riding Edge.

This is a joke right?

Yay for half of U2 performing... at least

If that happened, I would

I had better get tickets for this.

GaGa! No, please!!! I don't wanna see our boys on one stage with her ....

 

[domo-kun]

Out of all people , really this could have been much worse.

One person comes to my mind

Spoiler

Rihanna...

and it already happened.

 

[hand0lotion]

You can bet your bippy than Bono wants to be on stage with Gaga. Gaga is the icon of relevance and radio play right now.

U2 (mostly Bono) is an idea, at least Gaga is a cause. She fights for universal things like anti-bullying and gay rights (well, at least everyone can agree on anti-bullying). Yeah, it could be worse, I think. Like Beeber or Chris Brown or summat. At leas B won't stoop that low yet

Don't look now, but the 26th annual Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival is just around the bend, flickering on screens across Broward County Oct. 21-Nov. 11. The festival, growing like kudzu with events this year in Sunrise and on Grand Bahama Island, returns with a typically long menu of buzz-worthy get-togethers, guests and films, and while the ink is not yet dry on some of it, here are five names to get excited about:

fort-lauderdale-film-festval-larry-mullen-jr.jpgLARRY MULLEN JR.
The drummer for the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, U2, stars with Hollywood veteran Donald Sutherland in a re-make of Patrick Leconte’s literate 2002 crime drama "Man on the Train." It screens Nov. 1 at Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale, when Mullen will be presented with FLiFF's Star on the Horizon Award and do an audience Q&A via Skype.

Official U2 Calendar 2012

The official U2 calendar from Live Nation can be ordered on Amazon and U2.com now:

U2com Official Store | U2 2012 16 Month Calendar

It contains pictures from the 360 tour but from what I can see here it seems to look so much better than the official 2011 calendar. The pictures really look great and I can't wait to have that on my bedroom wall.
