A quiet week in the world of U2, Ireland’s greatest rock band had a few things going on. The Edge’s wife Morleigh Steinberg recently spoke about their daughter’s battle with cancer. The U2 guitarists’ better half called ordeal “hell” and revealed that their daughter Sian was treated in both Ireland and America. She went on to stress that Sian has fully recovered and is doing very well. Bono spoke out this week in honor of the Burmese former Noble Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, who was released from house arrest this past week in Myanmar. U2’s lead singer went on to say that San Suu Kyi was the inspiration for the band’s inspirational All The Things You Can’t Leave Behind track “Walk On” and compared her to Nelson Mandela. George W. Bush popped up also in U2-related news with mention that he confused Bono for Sonny Bono in his memoir. The former President went on in his new book to talk glowingly about Bono.

U2’s hard work touring the world on their 360 Tour was honored this past week at the 2010 Billboard Touring Awards. The band took home the “Top Draw” and “Top Tour” awards for selling the most tickets from October 2009-September 2010. It’s amazing to think that the band was still able to this with all the concerts in America that were canceled due to Bono’s back injury. Other big winners included AC/DC, Taylor Swift, Metallica, Rush, and of course Lady Gaga. U2’s Spiderman musical, Turn Off the Dark, hit another snag with previews pushed back to December due to security measures. U2 is also working a new album reportedly with famed produced Danger Mouse. Bono and the Edge stepped out in New York City to attend a exhibition at old friend and photographer Anton Corbijin’s photo gallery.
