A Word from The Edge

U2.com talked to Edge and he sent a message to the fans...

Like the rest of the band, last week Edge had his bags half-packed and was thinking about setting out on the next leg of the tour. In the space of a few days everyone's plans have changed. ..

"We were working on a lot of new songs so I'm already back at work on song-writing and working on stuff for the next U2 record. We are intending to play some new songs live, which is something we've always planned to do and never got around to doing, for various reasons. So we're really excited about the idea of playing a couple of these new tunes in front of a U2 crowd and that'll give us a huge insight into how they're working, and make changes in the experience ... the arrangement, the tempos, whatever. The ultimate proving ground of a tune is playing it live, so we have the benefit of playing a few of them ahead of recording them, which is gonna be great. When we do get back out there, we'll be absolutely in top condition and raring to go, so that's our focus now."

With a great sense of humour, as usual, Edge leaves us with a sense that things will go on all right (provided Bono
