Bono has reportedly been ordered to lose weight before U2 release their new album and start a proposed world tour next year.
The singer - who has been entertaining celebrity friends including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Robert De Niro on his yacht in France this summer - has been told he needs to lose his excess pounds before the band start their promotional duties again.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: “U2 have an album coming out around January. And then the band is going on another world tour in March and April - so the boys have been told to start exercising all the summer weight off.”
U2 - comprising Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. - are rumoured to be calling the new record, their first in four years, ‘No Line On The Horizon’.
Tracks on the LP have been leaked on the internet after a fan recorded the music from the upcoming record that Bono was playing in his French villa.
The four leaked songs are believed to be called ‘Moment of Surrender’, ‘For Your Love’, ‘Sexy Boots’ and ‘No Line On The Horizon’.

Even by Monaco standards, it wasn’t your ordinary dinner party for 12 on Friday night – though there was cake and champagne.
To celebrate his 48th birthday, U2 frontman Bono held a small dinner party at Sass’ Café in Monaco. On the guest list: Brad Pitt, Monaco’s Prince Albert II and The Edge.
“It was really quite a surprise,” the café’s maitre de tells PEOPLE. “It wasn’t organized in advance. We only got called on it that afternoon.”
Despite Pitt’s presence, Angelina Jolie, who had visited Bono in Eze with her children last Sunday, remained at home.
The sit-down dinner, arranged by Bono’s wife Ali Hewson, began with red wine at 10 p.m., according to staff, even before The Edge arrived for the evening. The meal was followed by a champagne toast and strawberry cake lit with candles; a staffer described the party as “tres speciale.”
No word on what gifts Bono received – but what do you give a man who has his own rock band and has already been nominated for the Nobel Prize?
