U2 have delayed the release of their new album.

The Irish rockers were initially planning to have their hotly-anticipated LP - the follow-up to 2004's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' - ready by this autumn, but frontman Bono believes the group have more great music to add to the record.

He wrote on U2.com: "We've hit a rich songwriting vein and we don't want to stop. I thought a while back we might have the album wrapped by now, but why come up above ground now if there's more priceless stuff to be found?"

U2 - comprising of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. - are rumoured to be calling the new record 'No Line On The Horizon'.

Several tracks on the LP have been leaked on the internet after a fan recorded music Bono was playing in his French villa.

The four leaked songs are believed to be called 'Moment of Surrender', 'For Your Love', 'Sexy Boots' and 'No Line On The Horizon'.
