U2 were originally 25/1 to split up next year, although Bono is refusing to rule it out and the bookmakers have been forced to cut their odds

Paddy Power today slashed the odds on Irish rock band U2 calling it a day from 25/1 to just 7/4 after front man Bono refused to rule out the possibility of him, The Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton going their separate ways as early as next year.

Only two months ago the bookie was inundated with requests from fearful punters that a split could be on the horizon after it was alleged Bono was rushed to hospital with heart palpitations in France.

Paddy Power was confident that U2 would be around for many a year to come and quoted 25/1 odds against them splitting up but those odds have since been blown out of the water!

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “It’s just one shock after another. First Westlife, now U2! We’re still a little dubious that a split is on the cards though. U2 are the Kings of reinvention so we’re hoping, like all their fans, that this isn’t the end of the road!”

Meanwhile, Paddy Power are also offering betting on which old band will reunite on the back of Joey Barton calling for The Smiths to reform and the recent regrouping of The Stone Roses. Supergrass are 11/4 favourites followed by the Libertines at 3/1, Oasis at 4/1 and The Smiths at 20/1.  

Will U2 announce a permanent split in 2012?
7/4    Yes        (from 25/1)
2/5    No
    
Next To Reform
11/4     Supergrass
 3/1     Libertines
 4/1     Oasis
 9/2     Suede
 6/1     The Kinks
 8/1     The Jam
 8/1     NWA
10/1     New Order
12/1     REM
12/1     Talking Heads
20/1     The Smiths
20/1     Wham
