From one tab to another... when a certain tabloid came out with the suggestion that Bono was writing a new song for The Spice Girls we couldn’t help but giggle and think, actually, perhaps Mel C begged him to do it.
But, surprise, surprise, it’s a load of all codswallop according to another tabloid.
U2's manager said: “We’re great fans to the Spice Girls but rumours that Bono is to join them as a sixth member are sadly not true.”
And as if that wasn’t disappointing enough, we’re told Mark Ronson wants to work with them.
Well, whoop-do-bloody-do.
He said: “I would love to do a remix of ’Stop’ - that’s easily my favourite.”
Just hold the bloody trumpets.
