U2 star The Edge has admitted he’s considered surpassing Bono – and releasing a solo record.
But the world-famous guitarist has given up on his plan because he knows he’d never have enough time to make it perfect.
He said: “I have occasionally thought about it, and I’m singing more than I have ever sung. I even contemplate the idea that I might sing something on a solo album.
“But there’s never any time. To be honest, if I was to carve out a month or two and knock out a solo album, I know I would not be happy with it.

“I would torture myself and run out of time and it wouldn’t be fun. And that’s the thing about working with U2 that I figured out early on when I actually did a few solo things.
“Whatever about it giving you the opportunity to express your artistic instincts without any other people ruining them – it’s so much fun to be in a band.
“It’s so much more fun to work with U2 than doing a solo thing.”

Meanwhile The Edge has admitted that their upcoming tour won’t be as big as the 360 extravaganza – which spanned two years.
He told TXFM: “That was so huge. I think we’re definitely going to be starting smaller. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be a shorter tour.
“But we’ll definitely not be taking on stadiums initially. As time goes on we may have to venture that way, but initially we’re definitely going to keep it on a smaller scale.”
