Funny how people are angry about a possible delay to an album that hasn't been announced yet.

People still won't be happy I'm afraid,it's just endless puns on here nowadays!You basically summed up this whole board. Would be great to get a reimagined album of songs this year, atleast digital, vinyl maybe next year and a proper new album and tour next, they’ve had enough time for sure over the last couple years.
Same. We get it Bono. You had a not so great relationship with your da, your mom sadly passed away at a young age, and you kind of can’t stand yourself. Can we move on yet?
This is true!We did just find out a month or so that he has a bastard that lives down the street
I feel that there isn't really a lot of dirt on the band, other than perhaps Adam.http://https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/bono/surrender-bono/
Looks like we got an early review from Kirkus. Appears to be mostly positive.
It would seem those hoping for Bono to tell all, and dish the dirt on the band are going to be very disappointed. Not surprised, and even though some will hee and haw, I think it's the respectable and classy thing to stay buttoned up about some stuff. It makes sense to keep it about himself and not the band - even if it is much to the chagrin of some. Still, I am very eager to read what he has to say about Pop and the iTunes debacle, since the review says Bono addresses them.
All in all, I still can't wait to read this.

There's certainly a healthy amount of rock n roll shenanigans that could be shared about the band, but he wouldn't share anything that embarrassed himself, his family or his bandmates. I'd be shocked if he doesn't have some stories of the "and by 3am we'd all done several 8 balls" variety from hanging out with Bobby Gillespie and Shane McGowan, or the Gallaghers, or....well, name your hedonistic (alternative) rock star of the 80s and 90s.
The only Edge drug story I was aware of was his early 90s experiments with LSD (or maybe it was mushrooms; some kind of psychedelic).
Edge was mushrooms - I can’t remember where it was, but he or Bono once told a story about Edge on mushrooms thinking he’d unlocked the secrets of the universe and they listened to a tape recording of him the next day.
This was a story, presented as possibly true, in “U2 At the End of the World.”
I’m sure the band has done more scandalous things than most of us, but far less than virtually all of their peers. All the intact marriages and bounties of children, while not totally incompatible with drug issues, suggest men who are pretty happy with their lives.
