I couldn’t verify a recent public statement in which Paul David Hewson, better known as Bono, spoke against his U2 bandmate The Edge. Available reporting from 2026 instead points toward the two musicians continuing to work closely together as part of U2.
U2 released the six-track Days of Ash EP in February 2026, with Bono and The Edge contributing to the new material. The band also continued working on a new studio album expected later in 2026.
In July, U2 released “Street of Dreams,” described by the band’s official website as the first single from its upcoming studio album. The release specifically highlighted the familiar U2 sound created by Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.
Bono and The Edge have also continued performing together. U2’s official website documented their performance at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago in June 2026.
Therefore, claims that Bono recently publicly turned against The Edge should be treated cautiously unless supported by a direct interview, official statement, or reputable report. The documented evidence currently shows an ongoing creative partnership rather than a confirmed public dispute between the longtime U2 collaborators.If you have a specific article, video, or quote claiming Bono spoke against The Edge, send it to me and I can check exactly what was said.
