Novelist Salman Rushdie was in hiding for fear of his life for many years. Then he showed up onstage with U2. Then he wrote a song with them. In this extract from a piece in The Sunday Times he recalls how it all came about.
If you are in the UK or Ireland this weekend, you'll notice the Sunday Times newspaper is giving away a free U2 CD with five audio tracks and never before seen video footage of the band.
The current Elevation 2001 arena shows are among the best U2 have ever played, explains Adam in a wide-ranging interview with Mark Lepage of the Montreal Gazette.
An article in The Observer Newspaper in London forty years ago today, led to the birth of Amnesty International, one of the world's leading human rights organisations.
It's the first show back on the road after a week off and a new baby in the family and we're already half way through the North American leg of Elevation 2001.
