U2 - Bill Flanagan

The most intimate and appreciative biography of
the mega rock band U2 to date--by the author to
whom the band gave complete access.


When U2 took the stage for their three-year Zoo TV
world tour in 1991, Bill Flanagan was there--in
the bus, on the plane, in the recording studio and
well after hours with the biggest rock band in the
world. A tour that began to support the hugely
successful Achtung Baby record and ended with a
second, even more successful record, Zooropa, took U2
to the far reaches of the world, playing to over a
hundred sold-out arenas in over forty
cities.

U2 At The End Of The World
takes you on the world tour and drops you off at
the cultural intersection where rock stars meet
politicians; where writers, directors, and models all
wind up backstage with U2. You're there when the
band meets Bill Clinton in a Chicago hotel room;
when Salman Rushdie comes out of hiding to join the
band onstage at Wembley Arena in London; when
Frank Sinatra and Bono record their famous duet,
"I've Got You Under My Skin." And finally,
when the band performs their last Zoo TV concert in
Tokyo in 1993 and nearly collapses from physical
and mental exhaustion, you are there with them
waiting for the end of the world. Augmented with
sleek photos by renowned photographer Anton Corbijn,
U2 At The End Of The World is the
most definitive book on the band to
date.
