U2 and Corbijn Featured in Entertainment Weekly

U2 and its work with photographer Anton Corbijn is featured in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly with "Law & Order: SVU"'s Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni on the cover.

The 7-page article is essentially an excerpt from Corbijn's upcoming book U2&I, due in March. Judging by the stunning photos featured in the magazine, fans are surely in for a treat when this must-have book is released.

Notable photos from the magazine:
-Larry Mullen, Jr picking at a guitar during sessions for "Achtung Baby."
-The Edge in full PopMart-era Space Cowboy gear quietly reading a magazine.
-Large color photo of U2 and their fathers, with the fathers holding the instruments.
-Hilarious outtake from the "Achtung Baby" photo sessions with Larry Mullen, Jr in a tight red blouse, with the band (also in drag) seating behind him, relaxing.
-Intimate photo of Bono and Ali Hewson with baby daughter Jordan in 1989.

Well, but he is charging like $90 for it... it seems to me that Corbijn is trying to sabe himself for the rest of his career with this book. $90 is way too much!

$90?? That *is* rather pricey.

Where did buy it?

I just bought mine in a local bookstore in the Netherlands. It's been on sale here for about two weeks now. I guess it's because Corbijn is Dutch that we can get it earlier here. I don't really now the situation for the rest of Europe(and the rest of the world) 'though. But let me tell you this: The book is quite big and filled with great pictures........and not very cheap. But it's worth it!

Got the book for my birhtday and it is amazing!!! I went to Antwerp last Saturday to buy the book and I had it signed by Anton Corbijn himself. It was nice meeting him, he has a good sense of humor. I will post some pics when I have got them.
