U2 will begin work on their new album this summer.
The Irish rockers will start work on the follow-up to 2004's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb', and singer Bono has revealed that he has already written a few songs with thanks to his kid's piano teacher.
"I've got a lot of songs, oddly enough, from taking piano lessons," he said in an interview with UK newspaper The Guardian.
"My kid's piano teacher, Dawn, has been teaching me the piano. And every time she gives me a lesson, I write a new song. So next week, when (the band and I) meet up, I have all these songs to play for them."
Bono will also be putting his political activism to one side so that he can "get lost in the music".
He continued: "So I'd like to thin out my schedule in terms of the politics and activism and just get lost in the music again - that's what I'm really looking forward to for the summer."
The new U2 album is expected to be released in the summer of 2007.
