U2's $10K-a-night Sydney house hunt
U2 are looking to rent four $10,000-a-night mansions for their upcoming Sydney, Australia shows.
The quartet – Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton – are reportedly each seeking their own palatial pad for their stay in the city as part of their ‘Experience + Innocence’ tour but the quest is proving difficult.
A source told The Sydney Morning Herald that finding huge properties for the stars and their families is a hard task.
“These guys are talking $10,000 a night houses, there just isn’t that many of them available,” the source explained.
Coincidentally, Sir Elton John is also believed to be struggling to find a mansion of his own to rent in the upmarket suburbs of Point Piper or Vaucluse for his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour.
The 71-year-old star is said to be looking for a luxurious home to house him, his husband David Furnish, 56, their sons, Zachary, eight, and Elijah, six and a huge entourage including bodyguards, nannies, chefs, hairdressers and stylists.
Meanwhile, Elton recently insisted he ‘owes’ it to his children to quit touring.
“The reason I did this farewell tour was because I’ve been travelling since I was 17 in a group and then as Elton,” he told The Mirror.
“The situation has changed personally. My children need to be with me and I need to be with them.
“I’m fed up travelling – and I travel in the most comfortable, luxurious way – but I find it really boring.”
And although they live a life of unimaginable luxury and count Lady Gaga as their Godmother or “Gagamother”, Elton insisted his sons with husband David are “quite grounded”.
