U2's new album, Songs of Innocence was a 'gift' from Apple to iTunes users, but it wasn't that well received.
Lead singer of rock band U2, Bono, has apologised to Apple users for putting the band’s new album into their iTunes library. In a video Q&A session that was posted on U2’s Facebook page, Bono said, “Oops I’m sorry about that. I had this beautiful idea and we got carried away with ourselves, artists are prone to that kind of thing…a deep fear that these songs that we poured our life into over the last few years mightn’t be heard. There’s a lot of noise out there. I guess we got a little noisy ourselves to get through it.” The Q&A has also been reposted at a number of places, including Twitter.

The Q&A session included all four members of the band, including Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton. The band answered various questions asked by fans on their Facebook page.
U2’s new album, Songs of Innocence, had been given away by the band and Apple as a ‘gift’ to fans during the launch of the iPhone 6. The idea though wasn’t appreciated by a number of people. Bono’s apology was in response to a fan, who said, “Can you please never release an album on iTunes that automatically downloads on people’s playlists? It’s really rude.”
