In his first interview in seven years, Larry Mullen Jr. was blunt about changes in the band and discloses that he needs surgery and most likely will not be able to tour with the band in 2023 if they tour.
Below is an excerpt of the Washington Post article by Geoff Edgers, a link to the full article will be provided below.
Speaking about Larry: “He is largely self-trained as a drummer, a powerhouse who now struggles with the physical toll of a lifetime of pounding. He’s the least public of the group’s four members, by far. The interview he gave for this story was, he said, his first in seven years. He’s blunt — he says if the band plays live in 2023 it will probably be without him, as he needs surgery to continue playing — and admits the dynamics in the band are not the same as they were decades ago. As the ’80s wore on and U2’s stature grew, band decisions would be made by what they called the “Politburo,” named after the policymaking committees in most communist systems. In Mullen’s view, the system that served the band well for so long has now become more of a benevolent dictatorship.”
