U2 announce Bono to have surgery following bike accident

Their planned Jimmy Fallon show residency has been postponed till another time.

U2 announced via their official website that they have had to postpone their week-long residency on the Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show as Bono has gone an injured himself. The U2 front-man had a bike accident in Central Park in New York and injured his arm. He will require surgery on his injured arm and is expected to be out of action for a couple of weeks. He had only just landed in New York after recording the latest Band Aid version of Do They Know It's Christmas? in London. Maybe he was a bit jet-lagged, maybe he was staring at the sun and the bike was out of control, but whatever the reason, we would like to wish him a speedy recovery. Hat-tip to U2.com.
