Trivia
Guitarist, keyboardist and sometimes the songwriter of U2.
Three children with Aisling O'Sullivan: Hollee (b. 1985), Arran (b. 1986), and Blue Angel (b. 1989). Two children with Morleigh Steinberg: Sian (b. 1997) and Levi (b. 1999).
His bandmates are Bono, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr..
U2 played the former Welsh national rugby station on the first night of the 'Joshua Tree' tour on 25th July 1987. This dates was hastily arranged after a fan had organised a petition of 10,000 signatures pleading for U2 to play this venue. During the show The Edge kicked a rugby ball out into the audience after Bono had said that The Edge's father (Gavin Evans), a Welshman, had predicted that one day his son would play rugby at Cardiff Arms Park.
Although U2 as a band are Irish, The Edge is of Welsh decendancy, his parents hailing from the South Wales town of Llanelli.
'The Top Ten Guitar Heroes' list in 2001 named The Edge as the 7th top guitar hero, behind the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Hank Marvin, but in front of Carlos Santana and Ritchie Blackmore.
Moved to Ireland when he was just a year old, with his parents and his older brother Richard.
Christened 'Dave Edge' by Bono, because he was on the edge of things, assessing what was going on and partly because of the shape of his head, which had a straight edge.
Co-wrote (with Bono) the theme song to GoldenEye, performed by Tina Turner. [1995]
Supports English football team Leeds United.
