News: Bono of U2 in a bike accident: Requires surgery

Oh la la!

Bono and the rest of U2 have pulled out of a TV appearance after the frontman fell off his bike in Central Park yesterday, Sunday November 16.

The band canceled their weeklong 'residency' on NBC's Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon after the 'spill', in which Bono, 54, hurt his arm.

In a statement on their website, Bono's bandmates - Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen and The Edge - wrote that the rocker hurt his arm when he took a tumble in the middle of New York City, and will need minor surgery.

They wrote: 'It looks like we will have to do our Tonight Show residency another time - we're one man down.

'Bono has injured his arm in a cycling spill in Central Park and requires some surgery to repair it. 

'We're sure he'll make a full recovery soon, so we'll be back! Much thanks to Jimmy Fallon and everyone at the show for their understanding.'

It tops off an unfortunate week for the Irish singer, who was also inches from disaster in an air accident.
Phew! 2 times lucky.....get well soon Bono!!!
