U2 frontman Bono has claimed that the he and the band don’t care how long their new album takes to finish, as long as they ‘get it right’ - adding that it could take up to 10 years.
The iconic singer has revealed that the band are working on what will be their 13th studio album, but insisted that it may be awhile before it reaches completion, because the band want to make sure it’s perfect.
Speaking to The Sun, Bono explained: “U2 have been back and they're really in fine fettle. They’re mad for it at the moment and they really want to make a new record. And they don’t care if it takes 10 years – they don’t care if it never happens again, they just want to get it right.”
Bono goes on to reveal the record’s working title - and added that they may be about 60% of the way through writing it.
“Within the band we’ve been calling it '10 Reasons To Exist' – but I will tell you we might have at least six of them.”
