Emergency Surgery for Bono Forces U2 to Postpone Tour

alt U2 have been forced to postpone the next leg of their world tour after singer Bono injured his back, last Friday. The singer underwent emergency surgery in Germany after suffering an injury while preparing for the bands upcoming shows in the U.S.



Bono was treated at a specialist neuro surgery unit in a Munich hospital.

"Bono will spend the next few days there, before returning home to recuperate," the band said on their website.

Promoters Live Nation said the singer's sudden injury forced the band to pull the plug on the latest U2 360 degree tour launch on June 3 at Salt Lake City.

"Once his condition has been assessed further, a statement will be made regarding the impact on forthcoming tour dates," the band added. "It's unfortunate that we're inconveniencing fans. We will make plans to reinstate the dates as soon as possible”.
