Potentially bad news for ticket holders of U2’s upcoming 2010 summer tour and/or the Glastonbury Music Festival. As NPR notes, the band’s summer plans are now in question after frontman Bono underwent emergency back surgery in Germany earlier today.
A statement on U2’s website reads:
“Bono has today undergone emergency back surgery for an injury sustained during tour preparation training. 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.
Once his condition has been assessed further, a statement will be made regarding the impact on forthcoming tour dates.”
Currently, U2 is scheduled to launch its 2010 world tour on June 3rd in Salt Lake City. The band is also set to headline this year’s Glastonbury Music Festival on June 25th, which is just 34 days from now. As always, we’ll keep you updated as additional details become available.
Update: U2 has postponed the June 3rd date.
