Bono has back surgery, US concert postponed
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 May 2010
Bono underwent emergency spinal surgery in Germany on Friday after suffering an injury while prepping for upcoming tour dates. The U2 frontman is expected to stay at a specialist neurosurgery clinic in Munich for several days, news which may result in those tour dates being affected.
A 3 Jun gig in the US has already been postponed, and speculation has begun that the injury may cause weeks worth of concerts to be cancelled, including U2’s headline set at the Glastonbury Festival. A spokesman said any further announcements about Bono’s injury and its impact on tour dates would be posted on the band’s website.
