BERLIN — The manager of U2 says frontman Bono has undergone emergency back surgery in a Munich hospital after he was injured while preparing for the group’s tour.
The 50-year-old, whose real name is Paul Hewson, is under the care of neurosurgeon Dr. Joerg Tonn and Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt, according to a statement on U2’s website. Band manager Paul McGuinness, in an MP3 posted on the website, said Friday that because of the injury, the band’s “360-Degree” June 3 show in Salt Lake City has been postponed. It was not immediately clear whether other dates, including a June 12 show in Denver, also were affected. The Associated Press
