About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh. My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on Jan 11, 2009 in Appearances | Comments Off

THE first act to perform at this year’s Brit Awards has been revealed — and it’s a corker.

U2, led by BONO, will belt out their single Get On Your Boots — released in the spring — at the star-studded bash on February 18.

The nominations aren’t out yet, but the PET SHOP BOYS will receive the Outstanding Contribution To Music award and FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE the Critics’ Choice gong.

A Brits spokesman boasted: “U2′s addition to the line-up makes it possibly the best we’ve ever had.”

RAZORLIGHT’s JOHNNY BORRELL isn’t as excited.

When asked about the Brits on Absolute Radio he said: “Having never received a Brit, I’m in no position to comment.”
