U2's North American Tour Postponed

Initially they canceled the June 3rd tour launch in Salt Lake City after U2 frontman Bono undergone emergency back surgery. Now, the band's North American 360° tour has been postponed until 2011.
According to the L.A. Times, “Bono suffered severe compression of the sciatic nerve,” said Dr. Muller Wohlfahrt in a statement that Live Nation issued Tuesday. “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. I recommended Bono have emergency spine surgery with professor [Jorg] Tonn at Munich’s [Ludwig Maximilians-University] Hospital on Friday.”
For Bono's full recovery, he needs to take eight weeks of rest and rehabilitation.

Rescheduled dates will follow shortly and fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets.
