Larry Mullen Jr., the legendary drummer of U2, is making strides toward a triumphant return after battling health issues that sidelined him during the band's recent Sphere residency in Las Vegas. Mullen attended the shows, receiving heartfelt recognition from Bono, who celebrated his legacy and expressed hopes for his recovery. "Larry is getting better every week," The Edge shared, hinting at Mullen's imminent return to the stage.
In addition to Larry's recovery, The Edge and Bono are gearing up for a new music project with Brian Eno. The band aims to capture the magic of live collaboration, focusing on a more organic Irish folk sound that highlights Mullen's drumming. "Music made in real-time... cannot be created using layering," The Edge noted, emphasizing their commitment to a raw sound in their upcoming projects.
Fans eagerly await Mullen's comeback, hoping for a fresh album that showcases his powerful drumming style front and center once again. With the excitement surrounding the U2 Sphere tickets and their iconic back catalog, from "Joshua Tree U2" to countless other U2 songs, the band's legacy continues to shine.
