Well, now this is a revelation. Larry Mullen Jr, who has sat behind the drums for U2 for nearly five decades has opened up about his dyscalculia for the first time.
In a recent interview on Times Radio, Mullen has talked about what is commonly regarded as ‘maths dyslexia’. It means that he finds mathematical concepts, times tables and arithmetic in general difficult to comprehend. Which makes it all the more astonishing what he has achieved; keeping time for one of the world’s biggest rock bands all these years. As we all know, being able to count is one of the basic skills you need as a musician.
