U2’s Bono injured during rehearsal
U2 has been rehearsing for the U2 360 tour in Germany. During the rehearsal last week, Golden-Globe-nominated U2’s Bono injured his back severely. The release from U2 Bono's doctors say that the singer has “suffered severe compression of the sciatic nerve … a serious tear in the ligament, and a herniated disc.” He was suffering from partial paralysis before the surgery.
U2 360 tour postponed
The U2 360 tour has been postponed because of Bono’s injury. Though millions of ticket buyers had used paydayloans to ensure they got tickets on time, there was no way Bono could safely perform. The U2 360 tour will be rescheduled with Live Nation for 2011, and ticketholders for all 16 United States dates will most likely be able to exchange their tickets. At as much as $ 200 per ticket, the 16 U.S. tour stops have an estimated value of several million dollars. The U2 appearance at the Glastonbury music festival has also been entirely canceled.
U2 360 tour back on the road with Bono soon
The U2 360 concert organizers have been personally contacted, in some cases, by Bono himself. In his conversation with the head of the Glastonbury Festival, Bono said he was “heartbroken.” The doctors treating Bono have said the tour will not go on until Bono has recovered. Bono will have to take it easy in order to avoid becoming fully paralyzed. Full updates on the status of U2, Bono and the U2 tour are being offered on U2.com.
