U2

Contrary to earlier reports, U2's next album will be released in 2014. The band officially denied rumors that said that the follow-up to 2009's 'No Line on the Horizon' had been pushed back until next year.

Despite teasing their fans for several months, including a high-profile song that premiered during the Super Bowl, U2 will not release a new album or tour in 2014.

When U2's No Line on the Horizon arrived on March 3, 2009, more than four years had passed since the Irish rockers had released their previous album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, marking the longest period between studio releases for the band at the time...

When you're a big enough band to warrant a Super Bowl commercial for your new single, it's pretty safe to say you've made it. But U2 frontman Bono still has the same hopes and fears as any multimillionaire musician after decades of rock stardom.

Normally we don't pay too much attention to the commercials during the Super Bowl -- the game's the important thing! But the news that U2 will debut a new song for charity during the game peaked our interest. On the eve of the kickoff, Bono talked a little bit more about 'Invisible.'

Confirming weeks of rumors, U2 have announced that they'll kick off the promotional campaign for their new album during Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 2.

If you want to make a big splash with your charity event, it helps to have friends in high places, and Sean Penn knows more than a few. Case in point: Penn's third-annual Help Haiti benefit, held in Beverly Hills on Jan. 11, lured none other than U2 to the stage for the first time in three years.

U2 won a trophy for Best Original Song last night at the Golden Globe Awards, but it's unlikely that's what lead singer Bono will remember when he looks back on the evening years later.

Can't wait until Black Friday to snag a copy of U2's first new song in four years? Well, you're in luck: The group just released a gorgeous new lyric video for 'Ordinary Love,' which comes from the upcoming biopic 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.'

It turns out U2's upcoming album won't be the only new thing about the band in 2014. For the first time in nearly 35 years, they'll also be operating under new management.

Details of the long-awaited new U2 album, including a tentative release date, are starting to take shape. According to Billboard, the group is apparently searching for a partner to announce the new project during a Super Bowl commercial early next year.

U2 will release their first new music since 2009's 'No Line on the Horizon' as part of Black Friday's Record Store Day on Nov. 29.
