U2 postpones tour after Bono’s back surgery, giving him time to rest. It could take up to two months for him to fully recover. They had to cancel 16 dates of their U2360 Tour from June 3 and July 19.
His doctor, Dr. Muller Wohlfahrt, said: "Bono suffered severe compression of the sciatic nerve. On review of his MRI scan, I realized there was a serious tear in the ligament and a herniated disc, and that conservative treatment would not suffice." As a result Bono suffered extreme pain and partial paralysis in one of his legs.
