  4. Alright guys, no joke, just got this text - Bono bailed.

    Through a few industry connections, I'd caught wind that a contract was signed for Bono to perform The Best Thing with Kygo tonight at the Hollywood Bowl. I let the crew know about this roughly 2 weeks or so ago and shared a few teasers here to amp up suspicion / hype / etc. I checked with my source before I posted, and he confirmed that everything was still on.

    Well, I know a guy working the show tonight, and rehearsals and the backstage have been prepared. Bono is not on site, and through him asking around a little bit, the contract was broken and the original agreement won't be honored. He just snagged a copy of the setlist for tonight (yes, DJs still use setlists), and The Best Thing does not appear on it.

    There will, however, be another special guest at the show tonight to perform a different Kygo song, in lieu of Bono. He's confirmed to be there, has rehearsed, has a dressing room, etc....but it won't be our Bono.

    I want to let you guys know that I've been a faithful member of this website for almost a decade and that I would never intentionally spread misinformation - that's why I'm writing this post to you to unveil a bit (that could probably get me in a considerable amount of trouble if it got traced back to me), because I take my reputation seriously and I want to be trustworthy. I stand by the fact that everything I threw into the rumor mill, at the time it was stated, was true.

    Apologies for hyping everything up, but perhaps take this to mean everything is much closer than we are anticipating.

    If you need further confirmation that I'm not totally pulling your legs, check out what happens tonight at Kygo's show - I hear it's supposed to be hot...hot just like an oven. (Someone around here should be smart enough to put that together)

  5. Tim: you can sleep like a baby tonight.
  6. I wish, I'm still up at 04:30 for work
  7. Too bad Matt! Nothing unusual for U2 members to bail out on these things, but still a pity. Let's hope we get another Best Thing moment!
  8. Cheers for the update EyesWithPride. Everyone, clear out!
  9. So when's the change of username?
  10. I'm never gonna survive! (unless, of course, I get a little crazy )
  11. I'm kind of thankful Bono found Snapchat. It means we don't have to hear this awful song for a little while longer.
