U2 rocker THE EDGE is devastated by the impending demolition of the Dublin, Ireland studio in which the band recorded their last album, because the building "felt like home". The studio in Hanover Quay - where the group recorded 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - is due to be knocked down later this year.

He says, "It's getting demolished as part of a redevelopment of the docklands. It is going to be turned into a tower block and we will make the penthouse into a studio. "It's very sad, that place felt like home. I don't know what it will be like recording in the new studio; we are so used to the other place."
