U2.COM : 'Ladies and Gentlemen...'

'There's a heavy metal album, a gospel album, one with the Irish tenors... a golfing tribute album.'

On Sunday night U2 were in Las Vegas to be named Top Touring Artist at the annual Billboard Awards.

The U2.com cameras had access all areas as the band arrived from the previous night's show in Denver, greeted the other guests, made the speeches and met the press.
