HEADLINE: BONO'S AT A LOSS OVER NEW ALBUM
BYLINE: EDDIE FITZMAURICE
BONO has admitted he doesn't have a clue what to call U2's
long-awaited new album.
The singer says the band is already thinking seriously about going
back on the road for the first time in almost three years.
But with the disc due for release in October or November this year,
they were still agonising over fine details, such as the name and even
what tracks to feature.
"I still don't know if it (the album) is a boy, or a girl, or an
elephant, which is always a difficult birth," Bono said.
Latest reports claim the album will include Tough, _ a tribute to
Bono's late father, Bob Hewson, althoughFull Metal Jacket, which Bono
has described as the "mother of all rock tunes," is rumoured to have
gotten the chop.
There is also reportedly no room for American Prayer, a song written
in praise of the US with lyrics from the American Constitution.
Bono added: "We're thinking a lot about taking these songs on the
road, which is where we really find out what the tunes are about."
U2 is said to be kicking-off a world tour in Miami in March, 2005.
