Crikey, a bit of grey in your beard does not make you look old in my opinion. Looks good as far as I'm concerned. He is well into his 40's.

U2 frontman and lead guitarist Bono and Edge have marked the end of the Point Depot and the opening of the new O2 Arena in a special feature for RTÉ's 'The View'.
The band filmed part of their 1988 rock epic film 'Rattle And Hum' at the Point and also rang in the New Year in 1990 there during a series of concerts as part of the 'Lovetown Tour'.
As part of a special 'View' feature to be broadcast next week (Tuesday, 16 December, RTÉ 1), Bono and Edge took a tour of the new venue and spoke about U2's long association with it in its previous incarnation. The pair also performed the song 'Van Diemen's Land', which was the first music ever performed in the old Point Depot and now becomes the first to be played at the new O2 Arena.
AdvertisementSpeaking about the original Point, Edge said: "It was still in its original condition as a railway depot, but it was absolutely amazing looking and we said wow - this is exactly the kind of place we want, something really about Dublin City and where we came from."
Bono added on the 1990 gigs: "It was a joyous occasion to be with all your family and friends in Dublin. It's a sociological event, not a gig. It's a tribal thing... and then to realise this might be it. This might be as far as the U2 story goes unless we can dig deep and draw into a different well. And we did in the end. It's a pivotal place for us."
They also revealed their admiration for the new venue, which has been brought about by developer Harry Crosbie.
The Edge said: "This configuration is as good as you'll see anywhere in the world. It's an amazing achievement and we wish Harry the very best of luck with it. I'm sure it will see some fantastic nights to beat anything it's seen up to now."
Bono added: "And we'd better be one of them..or two...or three!"

Originally posted by U2.comIn London, Shooting A Video
Larry, Edge, Bono and Adam were holed up in a warehouse on the outskirts of London yesterday, shooting a video with director Alex Courtes.
Performing a brand new song, the band worked on the shoot from late morning till late night, the elegantly mustachioed Courtes directing proceedings on the green stage.
We are sworn to secrecy on the finer details of the shoot... but there may have been some marching girls involved. With their boots on.
Courtes last worked with the band - with Martin Fougerol - on the video for City of Blinding Lights in 2005. And their work on 'Vertigo' won them the Grammy for 'Best Short Form Video'. That was the first single release from 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'...
More as we get it...
