The Edge (of U2)

From Wikipedia : Dave Evans, who was known as a loner in secondary school, took piano and guitar lessons and often performed with his brother Dik Evans before they both answered an ad posted by Larry Mullen, Jr. seeking musicians to form a rock band. This band would go through several incarnations before emerging as U2 in March 1978 (Dik Evans left the band just before the name change).

In 1982, he came very close to leaving U2 for religious reasons, but he was persuaded to stay. Shortly after this persuasion, “Sunday Bloody Sunday” was written.

The Edge married his secondary school girlfriend Aislinn O’Sullivan. The couple had three daughters together: Hollie, Arran and Blue Angel. The Edge and O’Sullivan separated in 1991 but could not divorce due to Irish law. Divorce was legalized in 1995 and the couple divorced in 1996.

In October 1997, The Edge had a fourth daughter, Sian Beatrice Echo, with Morleigh Steinberg, a dancer from U2’s early 1990s Zoo TV Tour. Their son, Levi, was born in September 1999. The couple married on June 22, 2002.

The Edge has become well-known for wearing a skull cap at all times in public, likely to cover up his receding hairline. He even wore his skull cap at his wedding to Steinberg in 2002. This cap has become part of his distinctive “look,” as has wearing shirts with numbers on them during the Elevation Tour concerts. During the nineties, however, he was known for his cowboy hat and handlebar moustache
