Bono Takes The Blame For iTunes Album Debacle

Bono is taking the blame for one of the biggest miscues of U2’s career.

In his new memoir, Bono apologizes for The Great iTunes Debacle of 2014 – when Apple gave every iTunes user a copy of the new U2 album, only to face a backlash from people who didn’t want it.

Bono writes: “I take full responsibility… not Edge, not Adam, not Larry, not (Apple CEO) Tim Cook.”

Bono’s memoir Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story will be out Nov. 1st.

How did you react to that infamous U2 album? Did it derail U2’s career?
