A Dublin man who claims he wrote one of the songs on one of U2's albums has said he intends to "appeal to the Supreme Court" a High Court ruling that the band's bassist Adam Clayton should not have to answer certain pre-trial questions.
Maurice Kiely is suing U2 Ltd, a limited liability company linked to the band, alleging the song ‘A Man and A Woman’ was written by him in 1998, that he performed it for US model Cindy Crawford, and was unlawfully included on U2’s album ‘How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb’.
U2 Ltd denies his claims and says the lyrics were written by Bono, otherwise known as Paul Hewson, and the music was composed by all four members of the band.
