Who is on the cover of the "Staring at the Sun" single?

[nathan1977]

Who is that profiled man? I've been wondering this since the single came out ten long years ago. It doesn't look like any of the guys. Am I wrong in this?



...wow, I must be really bored.

 

[BVS]

Um, adam...

 

[WCF]

I think it is Adam

 

[hcbiggs2002]

It's Adam, freaky Adam, but Adam for sure!

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Adam, looking oddly more like he does now than he did during that time period. If only Pop had been foreshadowing more things to come...

 

[Snowlock]

Can't be Adam. Adam's not purple.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

 

[love_u2_adam]

he has nice teeth!!!

 

[FitzChivalry]

I always thought it was Annie Lennox.

 

[Axver]

It's me, folks.

 

[phillyfan26]

Yeah, they took a photo of Axver while listening to "One."

 

[JCOSTER]

I always thought it was Annie Lennox.

I thought that too.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Maybe it's Fake Adam

 

[Zoots]

...wow, I must be really bored.

Axver listening to One!

This thread wins.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Pop!Adam is so much love

And now I've got a new avatar

 

[Axver]

Yeah, they took a photo of Axver while listening to "One."

However did you guess?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I always thought it was Annie Lennox.

i thought it looked kinda like david bowie but then i was like wtf, why would they use him. then i realised it was adam

but now that i look at it, i think it is a pic of dr. dre whilst listening to one

 

[gman]

The teeth, if nothing else give it away. Adam has a fair set of gnashers on him!

 

[phillyfan26]

It looks like the computer geek from Goldeneye.

 

[jacobus]

or maybe its scooter?

 

[gherman]

Its Adam during the Achtung Baby cover shoot when he got his "thing" stuck in the tape recorder.

 

[tpsreports2424]

[flybabe]
