U2 2015 Tour Announcement

U2 Tour Trucks / U2TOURFANS / 2014

Many have speculated that a possible announcement was forth coming for the North American leg of the U2 Unplugged Tour 2015.  Possibly as early as this week.

Which could have been starting around May or June depending on NBA and NHL playoff schedules, U2 will be performing a scaled down arena tour with possible two nights in some locations.

Looking at the Jimmy Fallon schedule U2’s tour announcement would have been perfect timing for the band and knowing how the marketing machines operate we could have expected some announcements this week with ticket sales starting the week of November 24th a pre Thanksgiving gift for North America.

However, that would mean pre-sales starting this week. Hum now would that have been something? We guess we have to wait and see what the boys and the machine come up with next. Stay tuned for sure an announcement is forth coming.

U2 Tonight Show Appearance Postponed!

Bono / U2 / U2TOURFANS /Mark Peterson

Editor Comment: Canceled or Postponed either way its not going to happen right now due to Bono's injury. We hope for a speedy recovery.

Bono arrived into NYC over the weekend and was bicycling around Central Park and next thing, MAN DOWN. Bono injured his arm to the point that he will require surgery.

This has been a challenging week for Bono.  First, the plane door falls off losing the entire luggage and now tooling around Central Park he has a wing injury.  

The boys had been scheduled to appear on the “Tonight Show” for the week starting well Tonight and now that is off. On U2’s main website announcement was posted Sunday evening. "It looks like we will have to do our Tonight Show residency another time -- we're one man down," said a note on the U2 website from "Edge, Adam and Larry" -- The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr.

Bono arrived from London where the band and some other starts had been recording a Christmas song that will be used to raise money for the Ebola issues in Africa.

We have been wondering about a possible tour announcement this week and now it looks like all bets are off as to when the boys will announce the up coming expected worldwide tour.

LYRICS

I was chasing down the days of fear
Chasing down a dream before it disappeared
I was aching to be somewhere near,
Your voice was all I heard
I was shaking from a storm in me,
Haunted by the spectres that we had to see
Yeah I wanted to be the melody,
Above the noise, above the hurt.

I was young
Not dumb
Just wishing to be blinded
By you
Brand new
And we were pilgrims on our way

I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
Everything I ever lost, now has been returned
In the most beautiful sound I’d ever heard.

We got language so we can’t communicate
Religion so I can love and hate
Music so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name

I was young
Not dumb
Just wishing to be blinded
By you
Brand new
And we were pilgrims on our way

I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
Heard a song that made some sense out of the world
Everything I ever lost, now has been returned
In the most beautiful sound I’d ever heard.

We can hear you
We can hear you
We can hear you

I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred
I get so many things I don’t deserve
All the stolen voices will someday be returned
The most beautiful sound I’d ever heard

Your voices will be heard
Your voices will be heard

Bono's Plane Loses Tailgate

Bono's chartered flight to Germany had a bit of excitement as the plane lost a flap on approach to the airport in Berlin Schönefeld early Wednesday.

The private plane was on approach to the airport Schönefeld. Aboard the plane were two crew members and five passengers. Among them  Bono. Suddenly, the Learjet 60 with the registration D-CGEO  reported the missing tailgate which was 100 centimeters wide. The tailgate must have gone down in the surrounding areas.

U2's Outstanding Evening !
