U2 used Sunday’s Super Bowl to put the spotlight on their new track ‘Invisible’, a song which we weren’t too impressed by. Unfortunately, it seems as though the band’s megalomaniacal frontman Bono is also a little concerned about his band’s place in 2014’s music industry, revealing to BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe that he believes U2 are on “the verge of irrelevance”.
Speaking to Lowe, Bono said: “We’re on the verge of irrelevance. You have to make stuff relevant to you and where you’re at, make an honest account of what you’re going through. If that’s relevant to other people, great. But we don’t know.”
Bono also expressed a desire to NOT go on a stadium tour with their upcoming album, saying that he’d like to play London’s O2 Arena because “sometimes it’s nice to play intimate things like that”. We’re not really sure we’d call a venue with a capacity of 20,000 “intimate”, but this is U2 we’re talking about. They’ve probably forgotten what the inside of a pub looks like by now, let alone remember playing a gig in one.
