U2 working on new album - music - entertainment | Stuff.co.nz
Irish rock stars U2 are working on a new album while they are in New Zealand.
The band, who are performing two Auckland shows today and Friday, were using their time while they were in the country wisely.
The band's manager, Paul McGuinness, said U2 had a deadline looming for their latest album and were working on finishing it while they are here.
''We are trying very hard to use this time in New Zealand and Australia to finish an album that will be released [in autumn],'' he said.
McGuinness said while the band were not actually recording in New Zealand, they were working hard on the finishing touches.
''It's not so much recording as editing and polishing up lyrics and trying to getting it done by the date it needs to be delivered to the record company for release in May.
''It's sounding great: lots of hits.''
