Yeah. Saw that. It says a lot. But most people change their minds too…

Still… to be frank, I don’t see how U2 could have handled a « I’m not doing that » from Larry, publicly. Hence they (theoretically) went for a surgical issue.

…but we also know he’s had troubles with his body over the years and he met with a surgeon.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Us Celts can be stubborn bunch. Maybe Larry really does feel that the Vegas thing is the begining of the end for the band and for that reason, doesnt want to play any part in that.

OR

Maybe he really does have a medical issue.

I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

I think integrity means something to Larry. At the end of the 80’s he didn’t just want to be a jukebox playing the hits. He didn’t want to be a Vegas nostalgia act. Maybe has seen the end of U2 as a relevant act.
