U2 delay new album release

The band have been working on the follow up to 2009's 'No Line On The Horizon' with producers Danger Mouse and RedOne but bassist Adam Clayton has said that sessions with the latter hadn't gone according to plan and as a result a late 2012 release now looms.

In an interview with Rolling Stone he states: 

"We had to have a meeting and look at the schedule to see if we could pick up any extra time to work on it, we just realised that we couldn't. To be honest, everyone was a bit gutted. But it was the only sensible decision."

He added: "We have to focus on what we do best, and the work we did with Danger Mouse came closest to that. We want to be in the clubs and make pop music as well as the thing U2 does, but in the end, the thing we did with RedOne doesn't feel like the right fit."

U2 will headline the Glastonbury festival next month along with Coldplay, Beyonce and Elbow.
