The Irish rock band U2 is reportedly on the verge of splitting after 38 years in the music business.

Sources told Daily Star that the pressure was really on Bono and the band after their recent song 'Ordinary Love' flopped in the global sales, and at this point there's every chance that the next tour will be the last one, Daily Star reported.

Bono, the vocalist of the band had earlier stated that the band was trying to figure out why anyone would want another U2 album as he admitted that band was living in fear of becoming irrelevant.

The source further stated that Bono is always getting offers to go solo and write his own album.
