The BAMBI for Music International goes to U2
U2 are one of the world’s most successful rock bands. For almost four decades the four Irishmen have been topping international charts and filling stadiums. They have received 22 Grammys – more than any other band –and been firmly established in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 2005.
Their albums, such as “The Joshua Tree” and “Achtung Baby”, have sold more than 150 million copies. Their U2: 360° tour from 2009 to 2011 was the best-selling tour of all time and their latest album “Songs Of Innocence” reached 30 million iTunes downloads within just four weeks. The band’s worldwide humanitarian engagement is exceptional.
The BAMBI-jury explains: “Since their early days in Dublin, U2 knew how to channel their fans’ emotions through their music and to combine them with impassioned statements. They tackle the mistakes we make as we grow and youthful outrage at an imperfect and unjust world. U2 create rock music with attitude and poetic texts that Bono, their charismatic singer, verbalises with his unique voice. Guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. provide the unmistakeable U2 sound of strong rhythms and melodies.”
