Noel Fielding befriends U2’s The Edge

The Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding has become friends with U2 guitarist The Edge, The Sun reports.

The surreal comic reportedly discussed music industry experiences with The Edge ahead of the Mighty Boosh band’s first live gig in Kent this weekend.

A source said: “Noel and The Edge have become really pally. The Edge has been giving Noel lots of guidance and advice about the band over the phone.

“He really loves the show and is keen to help out Noel any way he can.”

Fielding is also working on a Boosh album, which Mark Ronson is rumoured to be producing.

U2 art makes millions

A work of art owned by U2 has been sold for over £5 million at auction, according to reports. The piece by Jean-Michel Basquiat went under the hammer at the Contemporary Art Sale at Sothebys in London yesterday.

“Untitled (Pecho/Oreja)” was bought by the Irish rockers in New York 20 years ago and has since been on display in their Dublin recording studio.

A spokesman for the auction house said a private buyer had bid £5,081,250, considerably less than the record fee for the artist, which stands at £7.5 million. Basquiat died of a drugs overdose in 1988, a year before the piece was picked out by U2 bass player Adam Clayton.
