This is the reality behind the magic.
Two members of one of the biggest band in the world go almost
unnoticed, surrounded by tonnes of recording equipment, as they put
the finishing touches to their latest album in a London studio.
While Adam Clayton plays the bass, Bono tinkles the ivories in the
background at Olympic Studios in our photograph taken by Kevin Davies.
The studio, located in London's West End, is one of the most famous in
the world with artists such as the Rolling Stones, The Who, Oasis and
Bjork recording albums there.
And the studio's "live room" has been home to U2 for the past month.
The Dublin band had been due to release their 12th studio album --
which has a working title of 'No Line on the Horizon' -- in November,
but decided at the last moment to continue recording.
It is understood that the band has penned up to 60 songs while working
on the album, which is being produced by the team behind the 'Joshua
Tree', Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
No release date has been confirmed for the new album which is expected
early next year. The band was spotted out in the English capital last
week shooting a video for the first single.
The video was shot by director Alex Courtes, who last worked with the
band on the promo for 'City Of Blinding Lights' in 2006.
