It has been claimed that Michael Jackson used to be obsessed with Irish rock group U2 and became so concerned that they were going to overtake him in the success stakes that he even sent a private film crew to spy on them.
The music icon was apparently rocked by the monumental success of U2’s 1987 album ‘The Joshua Tree’ and was determined to uncover their secrets.
The private film crew that he ordered attempted to record the band in the studio in Dublin, however, the band’s manager, Paul McGuinness, found out and admits that he found it more than a little bit weird.
Speaking out about the bizarre incident, U2 frontman Bono told The Sun: “Michael wanted to observe us in our natural habitat.”
However, neither Bono or his U2 bandmates commented any further.
It is known that Michael Jackson kept himself informed on the latest sounds, producers and singers so this revelation from U2 is not surprising.
