(ANSA) – Rome, August 23 – Irish rock legend Bono paid a flying visit this week to his old friend Luciano Pavarotti, who is convalescing after undergoing surgery for pancreas cancer in July. The U2 lead singer called in on the tenor at his villa at Colle San Bartolo near Pesaro on Monday, but the visit was kept secret until Wednesday. Bono and Pavarotti have been good friends for over 10 years and the duo have performed together for good causes many times .

While in Sarajevo this week (see item below), Bono announced to Bosnian TV that the band plans to release a new album next year. He also put the cliché police on red alert with the standard comments about what Edge is doing these days.

"I would like to think that we’re doing our best work now. We’re about to make a new album for next year, and it’s the most important thing. We like being in a room with each other. We like playing. Something happens when we play, we have some sort of chemistry. And Edge, right now, is on fire. He’s really rockin’. He’s playing guitar like I’ve never seen him playing guitar. So, I like to think that the best is yet to come."

Use the link to watch the interview in Real Video. The new album comments start at the 13:40 mark, but the interview as a whole is good — especially his comments about the PopMart Sarajevo show.

U2 have been named and shamed as the creators of the most disastrous stage shows of all time. The Irish rockers came top of a survey by US magazine Blender for the set on their 1997 Popmart world tour. The concert was plagued with a string of errors including smoking the audience out with special effects and getting trapped in a giant lemon that they were using as a stage prop. Blender magazine writes, "No musician is immune to the catastrophe of the onstage meltdown… absurd sets, drunken lead singers and horribly exposed miming." Other artists listed in the top ten were JEFFERSON STARSHIP and THE EVERLY BROTHERS.
