Hot on the heels of Foo Fighters playing a week of live slots on the Late Show With David Letterman, and Metallica announcing a week long residency on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, U2 are the latest band to announce a residency of their own.

The Irish rockers have revealed that they will be playing a five night stand on the NBC flagship chat show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

U2’s stint will begin on the 17th of November, the same week as that of Metallica’s TV appearances. Anyone who happens to be a fan of both bands will be pleased to hear that the shows don’t overlap in the schedules however.

U2 previously appeared on the debut episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on the 17th of February, performing their charity single “Invisible.”

Back then Bono and Edge told Fallon that they were still working on their new album, with over 30 songs in the works. Who knew that just seven months later they would devalue music forever by forcing their recent album Songs Of Innocence on unwitting iTunes users the world over.*

David Bowie has announced that he is to release a retrospective compilation in November.

Nothing Has Changed will feature tracks from the entirety of Bowie’s career, and will also feature a brand new single, “Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime).”

The new song – which has a running time of 7 minutes and 40 seconds – was recorded this year and produced by Tony Visconti. It is the only new material to be included on Nothing Has Changed, which begins with Bowie’s first single “Liza Jane” and includes material from the subsequent decades, including “Life On Mars?”, “Fashion” and “Let’s Dance”.

“Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)”, will be released as a limited edition 10″ single and digital download on November 17th, the same day as the album.

Nothing Has Changed also features the previously unreleased “Let Me Sleep Beside You” from the Toy album sessions. The download only “Your Turn To Drive” will also be making its debut on CD for Nothing Has Changed alongside a 2001 re-recording of the 1971 outtake, “Shadow Man”.
