Along with Bono, Adam Clayton and the Edge (David Evans), Larry Mullen Jr. completes the popular '80s rock band U2. The hits "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Where the Streets Have No Name" made U2 an international music legend. With tours performed throughout the world, the group brings to life the concerns of a generation.



Larry Mullen Jr. was born to Maureen and Larry Mullen in Dublin, Ireland, in 1961. He has two sisters, Cecelia and Mary, but Mary died unfortunately in 1973. His love for music started with the piano but eventually he switched to drums; his first drum set was given to him by his older sister Cecelia. Mullen attended several schools, including Scoil Colmcille School of Music, Chatham Row and finally Mount Temple, where he posted a note about getting a band together. The boys met in Mullen's kitchen and formed U2; they had perfect chemistry, but Mullen was the only one who could actually play an instrument in the beginning.
