Former U2 stylist to auction band memorabilia

The woman at the centre of an intense legal battle with U2 is to auction some of the band's memorabilia on a New York website.

Among the 16 lots up for auction are two mugs used by Bono and the Edge which are expected to fetch around €800 and a pair set of Rosary beads.

Lola Cashman, who worked as a stylist for the rock group during their worldwide 'Joshua Tree' tour, was involved in a bitter dispute with the band.

She failed in her High Court appeal to reverse an earlier decision to return a number of items to the bank including a Stetson hat worn by Bono.
