U2 FANS STIR WITH UNCERTAINTY
March 12, 2002
U2's official magazine for fans, Propaganda, has stopped taking new subscribers at the request of the band. This has been reported via email by someone that works at the magazine during the same week that a rumoured European summer tour has been cancelled, although it appears that U2Propaganda.com removed subscription information and services on February 18th. Venues in Europe confirmed the cancellations, and stated that no reason for cancellations had been given. U2.com posted a shady statement out of the blue on Monday, March 11th, "Stories have been swirling round the net for some time about possible dates in 2002 but contrary to current rumours there'll be no U2 dates this summer." but failed to recognize even that The Edge and Bono have recently commented on the summer's tour, as well as comments from Willie Williams (the tour designer). U2's Principle Management has offered no insight into why things have suddenly come to a halt, sending many fans into a wild stir of rumours and panic. Several rumour theories currently exist (and are being reported/discussed at the Interference.com forum) such as the band is breaking up or that there is a fatwa on Bono. NO FACTS are known at this time... it could be as simple as the band isn't ready to tour again, and that Propaganda is just over-subscribed to.
Even if the reasons are mundane and ordinary, some facts would be appreciated.
