Will U2 buy the Olympic Studios?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 30 January 2009
U2 are reportedly interested in buy London’s Olympic Studios, the EMI-owned studio facility which, as previously reported, the major is looking to sell.
Bono et al reportedly used the studios for the final stages of recording their new album, and gossipers say they’ve now decided to bid to buy the place, giving them a permanent facility in London and saving a studio that has seen the likes of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones record hits there over the years.
A source tells The Sun: “They knuckled down and really responded well to the place’s atmosphere. They already have their own studios in Dublin but feel that Olympic could be a very wise investment. They’re totting up some figures at the moment. If the maths works out there’s every chance they’ll put an offer in”.
