'Spider-man Turn Off The Dark' will open on Broadway this December. Directed by Julie Taymor, with new music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge, the new show will star Jennifer Damiano, Patrick Page and Reeve Carney. Ticket presales begin this week.
Edge called in from New York to tell us about Bono's recuperation, the postponed North America dates and plans to debut new material when the tour restarts.
Not long now. In just a couple of months U2360° takes off again from Salt Lake City, before heading out across North America and back into Europe. Anyone notice that Edge dropped a recent hint about the set list ?
'(Jimmy Page) came from the blues whereas we started U2 as a reaction against all of that.' Edge has been talking about guitarists like Jack White, Keith Richards, Tom Verlaine, Nick Zinner... and Jimmy Page.
'We're still capable of doing our best-ever album.' Edge has been talking to Rolling Stone about the decade passing... and the one arriving. They've made No Line on the Horizon their 'Album of the Year' and Moment of Surrender their 'Song of the Year'.
