U2 bassist Adam Clayton has split with his partner of eight years.

Clayton and fiancée Suzanne Smith had been engaged for just over a year, and have separated in what is described as an "amicable split".

Smith, who used to be assistant to U2 manager Paul McGuinness, is a record executive based in London.

It is the second time Clayton has split with a fiancée, having previously ended a relationship with model Naomi Campbell.
