Meanwhile Bono told Entertainment Weekly about U2's new album. "We're playing out of our skins at the moment," said Bono.
"It's pathetic it took us 35 years to be the band we've always wanted to be. It's a wild thing to be in it. Our friend, Noel Gallagher, came to a show and said to us, 'You're starting with the encore?'" he added, according to Franchise Herald.
"We're well into it. Edge just came up with a cracker the other day! It's provisionally titled 'Tightrope,'" noted Bono. "It's very epic. It's very up. And, you know, that's probably what the experience has taught us: to be fully in the moment and that fun is respected, and joy is not to be let go of."
