December 14, 2004: U2 photo is a big hit at auction

An early photo of U2 taken by Anton Corbijn sells tonight at a Dublin auction for $12,000 (EU).


but I doubt that is what Edge meant!

Could be when Sian was diagnosed

 

[CTU2fan]

That would be my guess...

EDIT: ok im sorry but it was the 13th, not the 14th. my bad
i thought it may have something to do with his family, i remember hearing his dad was ill around this time too

His dad passed away in late August 2001.

What? So both Bono and Edge's fathers passed away during the same time? Is that right?

 

[tiny dancer]

I'm not sure about Edge's dad.

 

[Edgette]

In the new book, Edge says that it was in early December of 2004, when the band was filming the video for 'Sometimes' that he got the news about Sian. That's probably what he's referring to.

 

[tiny dancer]

I haven't gotten that far in the book. Thanks Edgette for info!

 

[Jeannieco]

I'm not sure about Edge's dad.

Oh! ok, the way that was worded it sounded like you were talking about Edge's Dad passing away in Aug. 2001 just like Bono's Dad.

Could be when Sian was diagnosed

What was she diagnosed with? Edge mentions her bing sick in the book, but doesn't go into details. Is Sian doing better?

 

[U2girl]

Leukemia. Hopefully she is better as the band re-scheduled the dates and I believe both Sian and Morleigh were seen in London recently where fans waited to see the band.

In the new book, Edge says that it was in early December of 2004, when the band was filming the video for 'Sometimes' that he got the news about Sian. That's probably what he's referring to.

yes indeed that's right They shot sometimes Dec. 13 in Dublin
