U2, with a 10-city, 32-date North American tour, plans to have a much better 2015 than they had in 2014, when lead singer Bono suffered serious injuries in a bicycling accident and the band was embarrassed over a botched promotional event with Apple .
When Apple’s iTunes gave users a digital copy of the new U2 album, Songs of Innocence , whether they wanted it or not, what seemed like it should be a publicity coup for the band — and the technology giant — turned into a PR debacle, as iTunes users by the thousands demanded that Apple remove the album.
That was in September. In November, U2 frontman Bono, whose real name is Paul Hewson, was biking in New York’s Central Park when he fell from the bike, breaking bones in his hands and face.
But things are better now — so much better that earlier this week, U2 announced that the band would play a second show at the Pepsi Center in Denver, bringing the total number of North American U2 shows to 32.
