U2

A lot of things went wrong before this live project helped made them one of the '80s' biggest concert acts.

A comment made by Bono in Berlin tonight could suggest that they made be considering calling it a day.

Is that the band is a bunch of animals? No. Is it that the zoo animals have garnered millions and millions of dollars with their 30+ year music career? No.

Pretty much since the early part of promotion for the ‘No Line on the Horizon’ album, U2 has hinted that there’s a wealth of material that could result in multiple projects, but so far there’s been no mention of an actual release date.

Posing for one album cover is rare, but to be on three is almost unthinkable. As a child, Peter Rowen, a Dublin-based photographer appeared three times on the cover of albums by U2.

The initial public offering of Facebook on Friday (May 18) may not have been as successful as many had expected. But even if it had done better than closing at only 23 cents more than the opening price, it would not have put Bono up with Paul McCartney in the exclusive Billionaire Rockers Club as had been initially believed.

As 2011 draws to a close, Billboard has released its list of the year’s top-grossing tours — and while veteran acts didn’t dominate the box office as heavily as they have in recent years, plenty of classic rockers spent the year playing to sold out arenas.

After 35 years and more than 150 million records sold as the lead singer of U2, Bono has one of the most recognizable voices in rock music — but that doesn’t mean he actually enjoys the sound of it himself.

To mark the 20th anniversary of U2‘s ‘Achtung Baby,’ The Killers, Depeche Mode, The Fray and other notable artists have contributed to a start-to-finish reinterpretation of the classic album. ‘AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered,’ also featuring a remix of U2′s original version of ‘Even Better Than the Real Thing,’ will be included in Q magazine‘s 25th anniversary issue, which hits newsstands October 26.

Last year, Bono‘s emergency back surgery in Germany had the U2 fan base worried about his welfare. There was an entirely different kind of concern for Bono over the weekend, when reports circulated that he was treated for chest pains last week at a hospital in Monaco. U2 fans can rest easy, though: It was just a routine checkup, according to a spokeswoman for the 51-year-old singer.

It’s official: U2 will re-release ‘Achtung Baby’ on Nov. 1, and new photos from Universal Music Group offer a pretty comprehensive look at all five physical editions of the 20th anniversary collection.

Classic rock artists may not get much love on top 40 radio anymore, but that doesn't mean no one's listening to their music. Quite the contrary. According to Pollstar's mid-year report of worldwide concert grosses, some of the most popular tours of 2011 are being led by older rock acts.
