U2 to split up in 2012? Paddy Power now offer 7/4 Visit Paddy Power Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 26 Oct 2011 Tweet Related Articles See all Music Specials news Share it Pin It 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 oddsPaddy 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.
