U2 to RETIRE?

[Precious3]

Not sure if u guys have been talking about or know about this but i thought i would post it. gosh i hope its not true. ( this was posted on the take40 website...its a music radio show in australia )


"Are the world's number one rock group contemplating hanging up their guitars and designers sunglasses and retiring?! In a recent interview, U2 guitarist The Edge, has perhaps hinted that the band might be ready to call it a day.

When asked about the success of their incredible 2005/2006 Vertigo world tour The Edge said, "The reaction to the shows has been unprecedented. From a really great start, it's just built and built and built. I'm happy to say bye-bye, because I don't think we could ever top it."

Music industry insiders now believe that the band feel they have reached the pinnacle of their success and are thinking of ending on a high note."

Poor Edge.

How many more idiots will purposely misinterpret his innocent statement?


I thought all those Aussie shows sold out already, I wonder why the news outlets there need to put out these false alarms.

Hopefully the Hawaiian stations start spreading this b.s., too.

the misquoted edge story thread is the new "what's that song before city of blinding lights" thread, which of course was the new "i know what uno, dos, tres, catorce means' thread.

the journey of repetition moves on! on! on!
