U2 were planning on premiering the official video to Get On Your Boots today (30 January) at 5pm on Independent.ie. That airing has been delayed.
A simple statement on the Independent website, marked 3:10pm, read: Delivery of the video for U2's new single, Get On Your Boots' has been delayed. We are waiting for an official statement from the band and their record company. More details will follow.
Two hours later, this statement appeared from Universal Music:
"The video is going really well but unfortunately it just wasn't finished in time for the premiere today. Alex Courtes is an amazing director and we can assure you that it will be well worth the wait" - Mark Crossingham, Managing Director Universal Music Ireland
No doubt, within minutes of its premiere, the video would have found its way to YouTube - that's just the way things work these days.
MusicRadar will bring you any additional news of the Get On Your Boots premiere as soon as it comes in.

“There’s three of us playing guitar in Foo Fighters… A lot of tone details can get lost, which is what drew me to the Cleaver – that P-90 cut”: Chris Shiflett on how he found his weapon of choice with his Fender Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
“People have used it as their wedding song. I often think, ‘Hey, did you listen to the lyrics?’”: The classic number one hit with a sting in its tail
Joe is a freelance journalist who has, over the past few decades, interviewed hundreds of guitarists for Guitar World, Guitar Player, MusicRadar and Classic Rock. He is also a former editor of Guitar World, contributing writer for Guitar Aficionado and VP of A&R for Island Records. He’s an enthusiastic guitarist, but he’s nowhere near the likes of the people he interviews. Surprisingly, his skills are more suited to the drums. If you need a drummer for your Beatles tribute band, look him up.
