Fans of U2 rejoice! Frontman Bono confirmed that the band will strike out on another world tour next year.
Bono revealed to the Spanish fan group ‘U2 en Espana’ that a new album and tour are in the works. He suggested that this album will be even better than the Dublin-based rock act’s previous album WAR, Independent.ie reported.
“It’s [the new record] not finished yet but you will like it. In terms of lyrics it is stronger than WAR, it has more clarity,” Bono said.
