UK tabloid The Sun reports Bono is seeking Noel Gallagher’s help in writing a song in memory of his father, entitled ‘One Step Closer to Knowing’. A spokesman for Oasis however, denies the rumour, saying there’s no truth it in whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the band have accepted the honour to be the Super Bowl half time entertainment. They get 11 minutes to prove their worth with ‘Beautiful Day’ and ‘One’ and possibly a third track, if Bono doesn’t waste time pulling some oddly attired athlete up on stage to waltz with. As we reported earlier on U2log.com: Being 40, we have to come up with extra reasons for people to put us on the radio.
