It's the man with the strangest name in pop.
57 THE EDGE
Born David Evans on 8th August 1961 in Barking, Essex, England. Although born in England he grew up in Ireland, where in 1980 U2 were formed. Without his excellent guitar playing it’s fair to say that U2 would not be enjoying the status of the world’s biggest rock band. He’s also the only other member who occasionally writes lyrics, this is normally Bono’s job, a quiet and thoughtful man; he is called The Edge because of his sharp mind.
