Bono decided to join Girls Aloud

U2 frontman Bono praised Girls Aloud after BRIT Awards ceremony. He joked that he'd always wanted to be in the band, adding: «I think Girls Aloud are at the cutting edge of pop music. They are a great band and deserve to be centre stage».

Girls Aloud have won Best Single award for their song The Promise.

Bono added that U2 still did not feel themselves as veterans. «We see ourselves as contemporaries of bands like Coldplay, Kings Of Leon, Interpol and even Girls Aloud. We have been doing this a long time but I still get the same nerves about releasing an album as I did in the early days», claimed Bono.

U2 will release new album No Line On The Horizon in the end of February. They already premiered the first single from it, titled Get On Your Boots.
