- Replies 6
In rock and roll, musicians' lives are often as captivating as the music they create.
Fans of the legendary Irish rock band U2 have followed the group's journey through the highs and lows of stardom, celebrating their successes and sympathising with their struggles.
However, a member's recent update from one of the band members has left many fans around the globe feeling sad.
After ten years of marriage, U2's acclaimed bassist Adam Clayton announced his divorce with his wife, Mariana Teixeira de Carvalho. They had a six-year-old daughter, Alba.
A spokesperson confirmed the separation over the weekend with a statement that read:
'After more than ten years of marriage, musician Adam Clayton and lawyer Mariana Teixeira de Carvalho have amicably divorced. Both will continue to be fully involved in the care of their daughter, and they request that the family's privacy be respected.'
The announcement shocked fans who have seen Clayton's life unfold in the public eye.
From his high-profile engagement to supermodel Naomi Campbell in 1994 to his previous engagement to U2 manager's assistant Suzie Smith, Clayton's romantic life has often been a topic of interest.
However, it's his battle with addiction and his journey to sobriety that have truly resonated with many.
'We have a pact with each other. In our band, no one will be a casualty,' Clayton said as he emphasised the band's brotherhood and solidarity—a cornerstone of U2's enduring success.
The bassist's relationship with lawyer Mariana began in Brazil during his sobriety.
Their love story was celebrated with a lavish three-day wedding celebration in France, which included a party on Bono's yacht, Cyan.
Clayton often spoke fondly of his life with Mariana and thanked her for making every day more meaningful.
Beyond his personal life, Clayton's professional achievements with U2 continue to inspire fans worldwide.
Formed in 1976, the band won 22 Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.
Clayton's recent appearance on BBC's Gardeners' World showcased another side of the rock legend as he gave viewers a tour of the spectacular grounds of his Georgian mansion in Dublin.
