You'll be pleased to hear that was nagging away at me every time I saw a post saying "nothing to worry about, Larry's back onboard."

Well, your titbit of information along with my own common sense.

Get a damned stylist.

The hair definitely looks way better than it has recently.

It’s like he finally sat down and let someone else do his hair, though the color is still baffling.

He really CAN be there glaring at the band for these shows. XD

It's JUST the glasses! He's looking great... trim... fit/// his voice hasn't sounded this good in a very long time... I even like the new jacket. But those glasses?

"Jaysus, I cut my recovery short and that eejit still hasn't got rid of those glasses that make him look like my nan." etc.

It’s not actually *his* hair, though.

It hasn’t been for a long time.

But, yes, looking better.

Is it more “I’m sick of being in U2” or more “I don’t want to be in a wheelchair at 70 and drumming will do that” that’s motivating this being the maybe final run?

I imagine maybe both?

Well, it’s his now. And looking like it might’ve had some additional support, ah, weaved in.

I don't love the song so far, but maybe it will grow on me. American Soul never did, the Miracle never did either, so I am not too hopeful. I do find it to be in that vein... Someone said the song sounded Zoo TV like. lol x infinity

Nonetheless, they all look great (excepting the damn glasses). I loved Edge's AB jacket and Adam is looking cool as always. Bring it on.

Yeah, let's not act like this is some great PR move, or that it proves Larry has "seen the light". He hasn't quit yet, so obviously he's going to be there for a new single's video shoot. Part of the job. Besides, it's fair to say that he would have been in Vegas anyway to make sure things are running smoothly before the residency starts--this is still their brand on the line and he's going to be signing off with the others on most big decisions in terms of presentation or whatever, as well as consulting with Bram on various songs, how the live mix sounds, etc.
