TORONTO — A pensive Bono fretted that U2 is on the "edge of irrelevance" during a news conference this afternoon at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The band is in town for the premiere of the new documentary, "From the Sky Down."
Directed by Davis Guggenheim, the film looks at U2 at a time when the band was at a creative crossroads before the release of 1991's "Achtung Baby."
Bono says that he thinks the band is in a similar place now, where they will have to push themselves in order to survive.
The rockers also paid respect to a number of Canadian artists, name-dropping the Band, Arcade Fire and Neil Young, whom Bono called a "sacred talent."
And Bono says that he didn't enjoy seeing the film the first two times he screened it, mainly because he can't stand listening to himself talk.
