Bono has been in the news this week for non-musical reasons - namely his tax affairs.
However, U2 are also planning to give their new album away for free when you purchase a concert ticket.
It's a different approach to the one taken with their previous album, Songs of Innocence, which was automatically added to all iTunes libraries.
Is it a good idea?
John Caddell and Nadine O'Regan discussed this and the week's other music stories, including the latest release from Morrissey.
