Bono's Gruesome Bike Accident Injuries Detailed

On Sunday, Bono was injured in a cycling accident in Central Park, forcing the cancellation of U2's planned week-long residency on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". Now, the details of his injuries and subsequent surgery have been revealed, as Rolling Stone reports.

Dean Lorich, a surgeon who operated on Bono, gave a statement Rolling Stone saying that Bono fractured his eye socket, his shoulder blade, his upper arm, and his left pinky finger. The upper arm injury sounds particularly painful—his humerus bone broke into six pieces, went through his skin, and required five hours of surgery. 

Additionally, Lorich wrote that Bono "will require intensive and progressive therapy." Even so, "a full recovery is expected."

Apart from the "Fallon" residency, U2 had been planning a tour in support of the recently released Songs of Innocence. The band has yet to make a statement about how those plans may change.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
