Often refered by Bono as the poshest member of the band, Adam is well known for his bass playing on songs like Where the Streets Have No Name, New Years Day, and With or Without You.

He made headlines in 1989 when he was arrested for cannabis posession, but he avoided jail time by making a contribution to charity.
