U2 Unsure On Future

The band aren\'t sure where to go next

Published 25th Oct 2011

In a new interview with Rolling Stone (via Gibson) Bono revealed that he's concerned about the band's place in the current musical climate.

"I'm not so sure the future hasn’t dried up," said Bono, who revealed he's been taking heat from his bandmates for such talk. "The band are like, 'Will you shut up about being irrelevant?'"

Bono said in the interview that he would be happy if the band finished on their 2009 album, No Line On The Horizon, but after working on the recent Achtung Baby remaster he suspects that the band will carry on.

"Ironically, being forced to look back at this period reminds me of how we might re-emerge for the next phase," Bono said. "And that doesn't mean that you have to wear some mad welder's goggles or dress up in women's clothing. Reinvention is much deeper than that."
