Bono's boob: secret songs taped for you too

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, four songs from U2's upcoming album were leaked on to the internet after frontman Bono played them too loudly on his stereo at his villa in the south of France.

"A U2 fanatic from the Netherlands who was holidaying in the village of Eze, on the French Riviera, heard the new tracks being blared from Bono's window and decided to record them using his mobile phone.

The fan boasted about his find on the forum of U2 fan site Interference.com, and members there advised him to publish the clips on YouTube.

The songs have since been removed from YouTube due to "copyright violations", most likely after a complaint from U2's long-time manager Paul McGuinness."
