U2 front man in spinal injury surgeryRSS Feed

A spinal injury has left U2 singer Bono in hospital recovering from surgery.

A spinal injury sustained during preparation for a concert has left U2 lead singer Bono in hospital following surgery.

The extent of the spinal injury is not yet known, but it is understood he is recovering in a Munich hospital after undergoing surgery.

He was admitted to a specialist neurosurgery unit following the incident and is being treated by leading neuroscientists Dr Jorg Tonn and Dr Muller Wohlfahrt.

The band has announced several concerts in their tour will be postponed as the singer convalesces in Ireland.

So far details about the accident have not been made public, but a statement from the band apologised for inconveniencing fans and said that further information about tour dates would be released shortly.

Being treated quickly for a spinal injury is vital for recovery success, according to a leading expert.

Dr Suzy Kim said that activating a patient's nervous system sooner rather than later is vital to rerouting neural pathways.
