U2 reworking old songs

U2 is working with R&B producer Dave Hollisterto give new life to old tracks.

The Irish band U2 are currently working with Dave Hollister to revamp at least two of their songs.

Hollister, an R&B producer and member of the band Blackstreet, is working with the quartet to rework Thanks and All I Want Is You.

It’s still a mystery what U2 and Hollister’s intentions are for these adaptations: Will they be on a new record? Are they for a remix or a soundtrack?

U2 had to stop their world tour, 360°, after Bono, the band’s frontman has undergone emergency surgery back in May.

The singer seems to be fully recovered from this intervention as the group hit the road again starting Aug. 6 in Italy.

Last year, U2’s 360° tour made $311 million in ticket sales. By resuming the tour and rescheduling concerts canceled due to Bono’s operation, the tour should garner income totaling more than $600 million, becoming the most profitable tour in the history of music, eclipsing the Rolling Stones’ Bigger Bang Tour that ran from 2005-2007.
