U2's Bono seriously injured in accident

The other day I heard that Bono had been injured in a bicycle accident. It tuns out the injuries were pretty bad.

Damn! Hope he recovers quickly.

Aye, that sucks. Maybe he and Tracy Morgan can do PT together.

He had a bloody Sunday.

How fast does one have to go on a bicycle to get those kinds of injuries?

He should have been riding where the streets have no maim.

How do you break 1 arm in 6 spots? Goddamn!

Pete Townshend had a nasty fall off a bike years ago. He shattered his right wrist so badly that they had to fuse it in position.

I’m glad you said it was U2’s Bono. I was thinking it was the other Bono at first. :wink:

Remind me never to use Bono’s bookie. That guy does not fuck around.

Wonder if he’s in pain or if he is feeling Numb.

Honestly hope for a quick recovery.

You win the thread.

Can’t answer that, but if I were him, I wouldn’t go back to those six spots.

Riding a bike killed Nico. Survived the Velvet Underground and years of drug abuse, died falling off a bike.

Achtung, baby.

Sometimes you fall in mysterious ways.

So, I guess most people like to see his Bononess fall on his face, eh? Guy makes us all look bad. He isn’t just Bono, doing Bono saves the world stuff, but also still is a relevant artist, also happily married, his kids are doing well, and he doesnt seem to be in any major fight with anyone. Plus he managed to turn his only medical frailty, his eyesight, into a signature cool tinted glasses look.

About time dude fell on his face, I’d say.

Yeah, the music puns, oy.

It sounds awful and I wish him a speedy recovery and good health going forward. I kinda watch the trajectory of U2 from the sidelines. They’ve never been my band, but I respect their craft and long careers, and some of their songs are great. And Bono does an amazing job engaging the world - wraps both arms around his life. I envy his chutzpah.

I do have to say though: I fucking hate Bono’s glasses. He could choose to wear any type of glasses he wants for his glaucoma - those blue and red fancy ones just make me snicker and shake my head.

Terrible, hopefully he recovers. I was listening to U2 about three weeks ago, and was thinking about Bono and the band. He could have been worse, we could have lost him. Recently it was revealed he has had glaucoma. Irishman can’t catch a break, though he has had the eye condition for twenty years. Wonder what effect it will have on U2’s long term future?

Wish him the best.

Sweetest thing would be to have him recover quickly, and U2 go on a massive world tour.

He better stay home for awhile. Didn’t he just have a door fall off his plane, in flight?

He’s had some bad luck lately. Hope he heals well and quickly. And turns his luck around.
