U2.com has reported that Bono had to undergo "emergency back surgery for an injury sustained during tour preparation training". He´s been operated in Munich where " He was admitted to a
specialist neuro surgery unit in a Munich hospital, and is under the care of neuro surgeon Prof.
Dr.Jorg Tonn and Dr Muller Wohlfahrt. Bono will spend the next few days there, before returning
home to recuperate".
Paul Mc Guinness gave a statement where he said :
"The band were really looking forward to getting back out on the road until the emergency surgery on Bono's back, which took place in Munich today. We were due to start rehearsals on Tuesday in Salt Lake City and get the show ready for the next leg. There were gonna be some changes and some new material. It's unfortunate that we're inconveniencing fans. We will make plans to reinstate these dates as soon as possible. Obviously, it's been very disruptive for our crew, as well; we have over 400 people converging on Salt Lake City, and some of them have been turned around and told to stay at home until we make our new plan. We hope to get things resolved as soon as possible."
Those who have tickets for the Salt Lake City show are being told that the show has been postponed .U2 fans with tickets to the June 3rd event are encouraged to retain tickets until updated show information can be provided.
