Latest U2 News / Sightings

Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:I very much doubt he means hits like GOYB. GOYB wasn't a hit for them, and I think they know it. I think he means songs like Every Breaking Wave, which to me should be a BIG hit. Live I've always said, U2 should go half hardcore, like do something new yet traditional, something their more hardcore fans would respect, and half commerical. A blend of the two would be perfect.

Plenty of good food on Bono's plate

HE might be a rock superstar, but U2 front man Bono could easily turn his hand to being a restaurant critic.

Bono has been Sir Lunch-a-lot since arriving in Sydney at the weekend, chowing down at some of the Harbour City's best known dining establishments. Yesterday, the singer and a mate enjoyed a relaxing afternoon bite to eat at The Pier restaurant in Rose Bay. The casually dressed star - sporting his trademark specs and khaki cap - acknowledged a group of diehard fans who waited out the front of the restaurant to shake hands with the Irish rocker as he departed.

On Sunday, Bono and guitarist The Edge lunched at Rose Bay nosherie Catalina, while on Saturday night he had a late dinner at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar in Bondi. U2 is Down Under for its 360 Degrees tour, which begins in Melbourne at Etihad Stadium tomorrow night.

Before they get down to the business of rock and roll, Bono will today flick the switch in Sydney to turn the Opera House and part of the Harbour Bridge red to celebrate World AIDS Day, which is tomorrow.

Bono sneaks into town for a feed

KING of the disappearing act, U2 frontman Bono, secretly slipped into Sydney on Saturday - as he has done many times before - and wasted no time heading out to some of his favourite watering holes. The renowned Irish rock institution, who spent two weeks at Bungan Beach with his family in 2006 completely undetected, casually strolled into Rose Bay nosherie Catalina yesterday for a seafood feed with guitarist The Edge (aka David Evans) and the eatery's owner, Michael McMahon.

Earlier in the day he had met with Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd to discuss poverty and aid. On Saturday night, the sunnies-obsessed singer arrived unannounced at Icebergs Dining Room. And, like all diners, he had to wait for a table at the "no bookings" restaurant.

"Bono was having a red cocktail but didn't get to finish it because a table then became available," said an onlooker.Bono has been travelling with an entourage of five, including a burly Irish security guy. While he will turn the Opera House and Harbour Bridge red tomorrow, the U2 360 tour actually will kick off in Melbourne on Wednesday night.

I feel like Larry's the family man who isn't interested in being in public, and Adam is a very low key figure as well. Adam/Larry just doesn't garner the publicity that Edge and Bono do, either.
