[Update] U2 niemals mehr auf Tour?

»U2 have decided not to tour again, according to the Daily Star.

The group, who are close to finishing their sell-out Vertigo tour, apparently feel that they won’t be able to top their current performances.

„I’m okay to say bye-bye cos I don’t think we could top it,“ guitarist The Edge told the newspaper. „Bono has taken it to another level. I don’t agree with everything, but I love that it’s like a new paradigm, a different equation altogether.“« Quelle

Ich hoffe es ist nur ein Gerücht … Aber ich glaube nicht, dass U2 ohne Live-Auftritte leben kann.

Wie man hier lesen kann, wurde wiedereinmal alles aus dem Zusammenhang gerissen:

»In February, the band will launch Vertigo’s final leg, which includes dates in Mexico, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia. „The reaction to the shows has been unprecedented,“ says the Edge. „From a really great start, it’s just built and built and built. I’m happy to say bye-bye, because I don’t think we could ever top it.“«

Sie kündigten also in der RS-Story nur das Ende der Vertigo-Tour an und das sie danach ersteinmal eine Pause machen wollen …
