U2 Biography Flash a weekly Biography. U2’s biggest verified development is the imminent return of the full band with Carnival De Luz, their 16th studio album and first collection of entirely new songs since 2017’s Songs of Experience. According to Universal Music Japan and NME Japan, the twelve track album arrives November 13, during U2’s fiftieth anniversary year, with producer Jacknife Lee at the controls and deluxe editions already planned. The most talked about song is The Mirror Maker, Rosalía, inspired by the Spanish singer. NME reports that Bono contacted Rosalía for help with Spanish lyrics, and told her she could invent her own language if necessary. Rosalía discussed the exchange during her October 7 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, saying she and Bono have still never met in person. Rolling Stone also reports that Bono sought her permission before releasing the tribute. Penélope Cruz has separately said she has heard the track and called it a beautiful tribute, according to EFE reporting summarized by Ground News. U2’s promotional campaign has now moved from studio announcement to public spectacle. The North State Journal reports that Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr returned to Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin, where the band formed fifty years ago, for a surprise seven song performance before students. They later played from a balcony over Grafton Street. U2’s own X account posted the brief message, From a balcony over Grafton Street, Silencio, apparently spotlighting the new single and the band’s return to its Dublin roots. The album will also feature Dolly Parton on Torn, described in current reports as her final recorded vocal performance. That claim should be treated cautiously until confirmed by the band or Parton’s representatives. Likewise, reports of a worldwide U2 tour in 2027 and 2028 remain unconfirmed; no dates or cities have been announced. Larry Mullen’s health is another potentially important biographical chapter. Able2UK reports that he underwent surgery after years of pain and feared paralysis, then told his bandmates he was back in business. The account is significant but should be read as a report of Mullen’s own experience rather than independent medical verification. Thanks for listening.
