1/06/2002 The Edge se casa con la bailarina de Zooropa El señor The Edge se ha casado en una ciudad del sur de Francia con Morleigh, la chica que seguro os sonará si habeis visto algun concierto de la gira Zooropa en la que bailaba en plan arabe en "Misterious ways". Aqui teneis el articulo mas extenso que he encontrado sobre la ceremonia. Lo siento pero no habia en español ningun articulo decente que poner, asi que a practicar el ingles. :P
<< There was no deal
with Hello! magazine, no castle sealed off to the outside world, no
giant marquee and the security, although strict, was subtle.The 40-year-old
U2 guitarist and his American-born girlfriend of nine years,
Morleigh Steinberg, eschewed a traditional wedding and instead, in a
colourful ritual, tied the knot in an exotic garden on the top of a
cliff overlooking the Mediterranean.They had already been through a
civil ceremony in a registry office in Ireland last week but invited
close friends and family to witness their blessing in a spiritual
ceremony that took place at 5.30 yesterday evening in the tiny
French Riviera village of Eze-sur-Mer.
Invited guests included
Bob Geldof, Mick Jagger, movie director Neil Jordan and the
Gallagher brothers. But many of the famous invitees were unable to
attend and the wedding was principally a family affair with band
members, their families and close friends such as supermodel Christy
Turlington looking on. Befitting the ceremony's unique theme, the
Edge chose a woman to be his best man. His close friend, Chantal
O'Sullivan, a successful art dealer, had the honour of holding the
rings while the couple exchanged vows.
The fragrant gardens which
were the setting for the ceremony boast 400 different species of
flowers, including the largest collection of South American cacti in
Europe - appropriately phallic symbols for such a romantic event.The
gardens are a major tourist attraction, normally receiving 1,000
visitors a day, but were closed to the public at 12 noon
yesterday.Some tourists became irate at the closure but the U2 boys
seem to have won the friendship and loyalty of the 400-strong
population of Eze-sur-Mer.
'Many people come to this
village. It is good to have U2 here. I hope they give the villagers
a glass of champagne,' a local told Ireland on Sunday.When the
ceremony ended, the guests desended a series of stone steps towards
'La Chevre D'Or' (The Golden Goat) restaurant where a champagne
reception awaited them.But the peaceful atmosphere was broken by
village shopkeeper Corinne Villina, an obsessed U2 fan who decided
to play a selection of the band's greatest hits from the
loudspeakers outside her shop as the wedding party passed by.
'I went to see U2 when
they last played in Marseille. I love the whole group,' an
enthusiastic Corinne said. After the champagne reception, the guests
gathered in the nearby holiday home which the Edge and Bono jointly
own. The 30-roomed mansion is called Villa Eze Les Roses and is
situated on one of the narrow hill-clinging roads that wind down to
the sea.The two originally acquired the six-bedroomed villa three
years ago and recently bought the house next door to accomodate
their growing families. There are three smaller houses on the
grounds and a swimming pool in the garden.
Mr Edge y la afortunada
Many of the wedding
revellers have holiday homes of their own nearby. Movie director Jim
Sheridan and Point Depot owner Harry Crosbie both own villas within
a few miles, while U2 manager Paul McGuinness has rented a house in
the area for six weeks. The exotic theme for the ceremony was
fitting. American Morleigh first met the Edge when she worked as a
belly dancer in their video, She Moves in Mysterious Ways. She then
toured with the band as a dancer on their Zooropa tour, where their
relationship deepened.They now have two children, aged four and one.
But while the Edge was fortunate to find love a second time around,
his first wife, Aislinn Evans, is currently coping with the
traumatic break-up of her second relationship.
The star, whose real name
is David Evans, married childhood sweetheart Aislinn in 1980.Their
10-year marriage ended in tears in 1990, after the Edge admitted the
pressure of touring with U2 turned him into a 'monster'. They have
three children , Holly, 18, Aaron, 16 and Blue, 14. They split in
1990 and officially divorced two years later. Aislinn then found
love again with John Hegarty, who works in the fashion business.
She and Hegarty lived in
her former married home in Monkstown, Dublin. They had a baby boy in
2000, the same year Morleigh gave birth to her and the Edge's second
baby.But Aislinn's relationship began to founder in recent months
and she has now split up with John Hegarty. Aislinn is currently
single and John Hegarty is dating separated mother-of- two, Cha Cha
Assaf. >>

De momento solo se especula con las canciones que se verían incluidas en él. Aqui teneis el artículo ( perdon por no traducirlo, pero no hay tiempo :) " U2 are back in the studio working on some material for inclusion of a second greatest hits album. The band plan to put out the collection ahead of the Christmas market, rounding up all their singles from the Achtung Baby period (’91) through to their last album, All That You Can’t Leave Behind (’01). The singles that are expected to appear on the album include The
Fly As well as the new songs that the band are currently working on, the collection will also round up other tracks such as Hold Me, Kiss Me, Thrill Me from the 1995 Batman Forever soundtrack, Miss Sarajevo from the Passengers album and the U2 cover of Everlasting Love from 1999’s Forces Of Nature soundtrack. The first U2 compilation was released in 1998 and came with a second CD containing b-sides as well. A spokesperson for the band has confirmed that this is unlikely to happen for on the next album as the band haven’t been as productive over the past decade." 6/02/2002 U2 arrasan en los premios musicales de su pais Mejor banda de rock, mejor album, mejor actuacion en directo, mejor single "Walk on", mejor video "Elevation" para el grupo.
