U2 kicked off their residency at the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas by dedicating one of their tracks to drummer Larry Mullen Jr, who is not taking part in the shows due to various injuries.The Irish rock icons launched their long-awaited residency at the new MSG Sphere in Nevada last week, and used the opening show to pay tribute to the absent member.Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and stand-in drummer Bram Van Den Berg all made a nod towards Mullen Jr during the set, dedicating their 1988 track ‘All I Want Is You’ to him. The drummer is not taking part in their 25-show residency at the £2.3billion venue due to injuries sustained to his elbows, knees and neck.He previously confirmed that the injuries are all drumming-related, and said that he would “like to take some time… to get myself healed”, rather than persevere with the Las Vegas shows.
Noel Gallagher on the prospect of a Las Vegas residency
13.09.2023 - 21:07 / nme.com
Noel Gallagher has shared that he would be open to a Las Vegas residency “later in life” when he has aged out of touring.While appearing as a guest on The Matt Morgan Podcast, the former Oasis guitarist said: “Would I do Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in Vegas? Possibly in later life. You don’t have to go anywhere.
You live in the hotel that you play at.”He continued: “Elvis Presley used to get a lift from his room to the stage – I wouldn’t mind doing that.”Though the prospects of a Las Vegas residency for Gallagher is a while away, the musician shared that he will be making his way to the state on holiday during his break from tour to see Irish icons U2 play their residency.“I’m going on holiday for a couple of weeks, and I’ve got bits to do at the studio, taking the kids away, that kind of thing – then I’m going to Las Vegas to see U2,” he said.
He continued: “They’re doing a residency, ‘Achtung Baby’ – their best album. It’s going to be quite the experience.”
In other news, Gallagher was recently issued a six month driving ban – despite never actually learning how to drive.Over recent months, the High Flying Birds singer has supposedly gotten in trouble for speeding various times and racked up an impressive fine along the way.Back in June, he was issued a speeding ticket as well as six penalty points on his licence, a £742 fine and costs and court fees totalling £396.

U2 drops punky ‘Atomic City’ single before Vegas residency opens: review
its first residency in Sin City on Friday night, the Irish icons dropped the new single “Atomic City” — and its video — earlier in the same day.Hey, they didn’t become one of the biggest rock bands of all time without learning a thing or two about promotional synergy.And as they prepare to go Vegas — where no respectable band would have dared to go back in the day when they ruled rock — “Atomic City” finds the quintessentially earnest quartet coming out swinging and swaggering rather than taking themselves so seriously.“I’m ready for bright lights…I came here for the fight/I’m front row in Las Vegas/And there’s a big one on tonight,” sings Bono in a not-so-subtle nod to “U2: UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere,” their Sept. 29- Dec.
