U2 Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. Had Mixed Feelings About Bram van den Berg's Substitute Performance
U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. expressed mixed emotions regarding Krezip musician Bram van den Berg filling in for him during 2023 and 2024 performances at The Sphere in Las Vegas, following a neck operation that prevented Mullen from playing all forty shows. While Mullen felt the absence was a personal humiliation rather than a abandonment by his bandmates, he acknowledged Van den Berg’s skillful execution of his drum parts with gratitude. Guitarist The Edge noted that U2 would not have created new music without Mullen’s recovery, and the group is now rehearsing for a potential tour where Mullen hopes to participate, even if only for an hour.
