Bono Unable To Move For The Next Couple Of Months
U2's front man, Bono, had a lucky escape few days back when he survived a cycling accident. However, he still cannot move for the next few months. His bandmate has revealed details about his injuries to the public for the first time.
Bono cannot move around for next the two months after recently undergoing reconstructive surgery. The popular singer is left with a fractured face and shoulder blade, as well as a badly broken elbow, when he met an accident in New York's Central Park last month that required him to undergo a complex surgery which lasted for five hours.
The Mirror reported that although the singer's health condition is under control, he will be away from the stage for the next few months. His band mate, 'The Edge', has verified this information and claimed the same. The singer is back in Dublin, but cannot move freely due to the number of injuries he suffered.
'The Edge' spoke with a Los Angeles radio station, KROQ-FM. While answering a query on how the famous singer was not recognised when he got injured on a busy Sunday afternoon in the largest park in Manhattan, the band member replied jokingly that Bono likes to cycle dressed up as Hasidic Jew to avoid unnecessary public attention.
Detailing the injuries suffered by the 54-year-old Irish musician, the band member elaborated that his left elbow was shattered badly. This required extensive reconstructive surgery involving wires and plates. Also, his pinky finger got badly smashed, which required a bone graft.
The most crucial part, however, is his upper back as they could not put any plates or do any complicated surgery. He just has to lie down very still and let the injury heal itself. The singer also takes physiotherapy sessions to keep his other joints active.
Amid the injury details, there is still good news for the singer's fans across the world. 'The Edge' has confirmed that U2 along with Bono will be on a world tour concert in May, starting in Vancouver.
