U2 at the end of the world

The most intimate and appreciative biography ofnbsp;nbsp;the mega rock band U2 to date--by the author tonbsp;nbsp;whom the band gave complete access.nbsp;nbsp; When U2 took the stage for their three-year Zoo TVnbsp;nbsp;world tour in 1991, Bill Flanagan was there--innbsp;nbsp;the bus, on the plane, in the recording studio andnbsp;nbsp;well after hours with the biggest rock band in thenbsp;nbsp;world. A tour that began to support the hugelynbsp;nbsp;successful Achtung Baby record and ended with anbsp;nbsp;second, even more successful record, Zooropa, took U2nbsp;nbsp;to the far reaches of the world, playing to over anbsp;nbsp;hundred sold-out arenas in over fortynbsp;nbsp;cities. U2 At The End Of The Worldnbsp;nbsp;takes you on the world tour and drops you off atnbsp;nbsp;the cultural intersection where rock stars meetnbsp;nbsp;politicians; where writers, directors, and models allnbsp;nbsp;wind up backstage with U2. You're there when thenbsp;nbsp;band meets Bill Clinton in a Chicago hotel room;nbsp;nbsp;when Salman Rushdie comes out of hiding to join thenbsp;nbsp;band onstage at Wembley Arena in London; whennbsp;nbsp;Frank Sinatra and Bono record their famous duet,nbsp;nbsp;"I've Got You Under My Skin." And finally,nbsp;nbsp;when the band performs their last Zoo TV concert innbsp;nbsp;Tokyo in 1993 and nearly collapses from physicalnbsp;nbsp;and mental exhaustion, you are there with themnbsp;nbsp;waiting for the end of the world. Augmented withnbsp;nbsp;sleek photos by renowned photographer Anton Corbijn,nbsp;nbsp;U2 At The End Of The World is thenbsp;nbsp;most definitive book on the band tonbsp;nbsp;date.… (more)
