Briefly: U2, John Mayer, ODB, Steve Earle
U2 performed "Vertigo" and three other songs from their forthcoming album, "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," during a brief Wednesday (11/17) gig for 30 radio contest winners in Dublin.
The Radio 1 contest winners joined the band--which concluded its set with "Beautiful Day"--at its rehearsal space, which will soon be demolished.
"How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" is due in stores on Tuesday (11/23).
Singer/songwriter John Mayer stars in the new VH1 special "John Mayer Has a TV Show," which premieres on Dec. 9.
The half-hour program, shot during Mayer's summer tour, is described in a press release as "one part documentary, one part travelogue and one part sketch comedy."
A funeral for rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard --whose real name was Russell Jones, was held Wednesday (11/18) in New York City. ODB collapsed and died in a New York recording studio last Saturday (11/13); the cause of death is still under investigation.
Motion picture director Johathan Demme will direct the video for the Steve Earle track "Rich Man's War."
