I don't know if there's been any pics of Mrs Edge #1 lately by the way.
And Adam is back to being the band's bachelor again since a couple of months back.

Seems Larry gets the sleepy eyes from his mom.

And that pic of Bono's mother: Scary! Him in female form, right down to the manic smile. S'creepy! In a good way.

There won't be any of 'crazy curly hair' girl as an adult. She died soon after that pic was taken It's the older girl who works in the U2 office. I've never seen a pic of her as an adult.

I didn't remember that. How did she die?

 

[Galeongirl]

If I recall correctly she got in a car accident or was that Larry's mother?

 

[Butterscotch]

Larry's mum did die in a car crash when he was 17. I don't know how the little sister died, only that she died in I believe 1964. That's all any U2 bio soruces ever say. I've always wanted to know what happened but maybe the family didn't want it public. I feel sorry for Larry, losing his little sister so young must have been a disturbing experience for him, then losing him mum too. Maybe it has something to do with his personality, though I won't speculate because it's not kind to use family tragedies that way.

Bono lost his mum at 14. She collapsed at her own father's funeral and died soon after. He seemed to turn his grief into something else. I suppose we all handle things differently.

Bono's dad died in 2001 you probably know about that. Larry's dad may still be alive. I think both Adam and Edge have both parents still alive.

 

[Butterscotch]

From Larry's wikipedia article. It says the sister lived to be 6, that's longer than other sources have said.

Larry Mullen Jr. was born and raised in Artane, Dublin, Ireland, located on the north side of Dublin. He was the middle child and only son of three children to Larry Mullen, Sr. and Maureen Mullen. Mullen's younger sister Mary died when she was six and his mother, Maureen, was killed in a car accident in 1978.

That /is/ some wicked curly hair on that kid.



She kinda reminds me of early Adam with that hair, only darker.

 

[GracelandHarley]

Ah, yes, wikipedia, the source to end all sources.

Here's a new "source" for you: U2 by U2... pg. 25-26... provided by one Larry Mullen Jnr:

"My sister Mary died in 1973... she was nine years old. It was very traumatic for everyone."

And no, speculating would not "be kind in using family tragedies that way"... whatever the hell that last part means.

Speculating would not be kind, period.

Nor is the crack about it having "something to do with his personality."

 

[last unicorn]

I totally wasn't aware that Larry's sister died so young, I feel so sorry for him, losing his sister and his mother at a very young age is horrible. I can see how these experiences have shaped his life.
