NO WAISTLINE ON THE HORIZON; EXCLUSIVE U2 shape up for big world tour.
Whatever happened to sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll? U2 are preparing for their
next world tour by hitting the treadmills and healthy eating buffets.
Bono, 48, is so determined to keep trim, a private gym, footy pitch and healthy
eating restaurant will be built at every venue.
And the band have already undertaken a gruelling fitness regime so they can roll
back the years for some of their most energetic performances ever.
A source revealed: "The lads used to demand piles of booze. But they've realised
they have to eat the right foods and live a healthy lifestyle.
"This time around they have top health food chefs to prepare them low-carb
snacks and high energy protein shakes.
"Bono and the lads know they can't get away with eating and drinking like they
used to. So they are pulling out all the stops to turn this into the healthiest
tour ever staged."
Before each gig -- which includes three nights at Croke Park on July 24, 25 and
27 -- the band will warm up by hitting the treadmill.
The insider added: "They will have gym equipment and a sports area complete with
pool tables and even a mini football zone.
"It's going to be like a big kid's playground.
But when you consider they will be on the road for over a year it's important
they have some way of killing the time while they are away."
The band was reportedly asked to shed the pounds before releasing their new
album.
The source added: "The boys have been told to start exercising all the summer
weight off.
They are a bit out of shape and they need to tone up and look the part again."

U2 Sells Out The World Originally posted by gwiz:I hope they bring back material from War, UF, and Pop. And no SBSIts time has passed. Seconds would be great though, it seems to fit with NLOTH.

If they play Sunday Bloody Sunday, it should be the Sarajevo version...it's much more suited to this tour, I think...and yeah, the Sunday Bloody Sunday/Bullet the Blue Sky/When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again bit has gotten a little old...but I think hearing the Sarajevo version of Sunday Bloody Sunday would be fantastic.
