He told Australian newspaper The Age that U2 is
preparing three new albums, with the Danger Mouse (real name: Brian Burton)
project possibly arriving in early 2011.

"We
have about 12 songs with him," Bono was quoted as saying. "At the
moment that looks like the album we will put out next because it's just
happening so easily." Danger Mouse is best known for his work as one-half
of pop-soul duo Gnarls Barkley, and for the illicit 2004 Jay-Z/Beatles mashup
"The Grey Album." Bono also revealed that the band is working on a
club record of remixes; Will.i.am, David Guetta and Lady Gaga producer RedOne
are all involved with the project.
A possible third album would feature the
material that Bono and guitarist the Edge wrote for the upcoming Broadway
musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." "We haven't convinced
the rest of the band to do that yet," Bono said. U2 will bring its U2 360
tour to Australia in December before returning to North America in mid-May.
"Spider-Man" previews are set to begin on Nov. 14.
