Trump Delays U2’s Album
U2 is blaming President-elect Donald Trump for delaying their upcoming album. In a new interview, guitarist the Edge explained the band was pretty much done with the record when the election happened. He said, “Suddenly the world changed. We just went, ‘Hold on a second – we’ve got to give ourselves a moment to think about this record and about how it relates to what’s going on in the world.’ It just felt like, ‘Wow, these songs have a new meaning and a new resonance today that they didn’t have three years ago, four years ago.’ And so it was kind of serendipitous, really, just the realization that we needed to put the album on ice for a minute just to really think about it one more time before putting it out, just to make sure that it really was what we wanted to say. We’ve given ourselves a little bit of breathing space for creativity.”
