Bono - things will be blue skies again for you in no time! The best way for you to do that is to rest up and listen to your doctors! Your fans aren't going anywhere - we're right here by your side like we have been forever. You're in our hearts and prayers every day! We'll see you and the band on tour when you're ready and able. -lovin you since '82 - long time fan 'Little Red' :-)

Take care of him Edge!!
Hey Edge thanks so much for updating us on our favorite frontman. There's no worries about postponing the tour, we would rather wait than having a hurting Bono on stage and we know you guys will be 10x better later. Take care and make sure Bono doesn't run out!!!

Thoughts are with you...
Just a few words to wish you a steady recovery as you health is more important than any show!!! Edge is probably 'penning' this experience into another great song .... All the best Bono!

Don't worry about us...we'll be fine!
Bono, you just listen to the doctors and do your best to heal. We will see you on the flip side when the dates are rescheduled next year and you are up and around and rarin' to go by then.

Take it easy Bono!
Get well soon Bono, wishing you a speedy recovery and hope daytime tv doesn't drive you crazy! I'm absolutely gutted I won't be able to see you guys at Glastonbury next month, it would have been one of those great moments in the festival's history. Take care and thank you Edge for your message. Love Fi x

Thank you Edge!
Great update! I wish Bono well and a speedy recovery, but please take as much time as necessary to heal up! Your fans will patiently wait, so please come back once you're at 100%. On a separate note, this video reminded me of the 'Numb' video... I was expecting feet to pop out and smush Edge's face ;)

Wishing a full recovery!!!
The tour can wait. Most importantly is the health of our loved ones. My wife is visiting Galway, Ireland in a few days.Hoping she can visit Dublin and take in some good Irish hospitality! My best to the band and hoping for a speedy recovery for Bono. Take all the time needed!Some good whiskey should do the trick.Be well - Geo

get well wishes
Thanks Edge for setting our minds at ease. The fact that you took the time to talk to the fans personally just goes to show how much you care. Bono, you take it easy, rest up, and enjoy the time with your family. Sometimes these unwelcome breaks end up being a blessing as you get to spend time with loved ones and evaluate just how important you are to each other. You know your fans will still be here when you're back on your feet. The most pressing thing now is for you to get better. Can't wait to see you again in 2011. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Give someone a heart attack!
Jeez that news was scary. Knock it off, would you Bono?? Thanks to The Edge for his personal update. Priceless, it was! As far as you are concerned Bono - restart & reboot yourself. THEN you're free to go. If you think of cutting corners just think of how many millions of loved ones that will affect. We will wait for you, Bono. Please get well & love to all of your family.

I has the same
Dear Bono, I has the same emergency back surgery in 2001, I couldn't walk about this problem, but thanks to my doctors Mr. Sergio Rossito, His Father and Mr. Fabian Mammone I recovered my legs in 48hs after surgery, and I didn't have more pain. Please Bono recover quickly but you must notice to the doctors. I want to see you In Argentina soon.

Stay off the scaffolding
Bono, the time for heroics is not now. Do what Edge tells you. I can wait a little longer for my 12th U2 show (first was in 1987) as long as I know there'll be one.

Save Bono, Not the World!
Thanks to the Edge and U2.com for keeping us informed. Like so many have said, Bono's spent his entire adult life helping people in one way or another - as much as he may want to get back out there fighting, we all hope he takes great care!

I'll wait patiently!
Edge, Larry and Adam...take good care of Bono and do tie him down to allow him time to heal!!!! We want him healthy and rockin when we see you next year! I was SO excited for your Michigan State show and will hold that excitement in for as long as it takes for Bono to recover and come back fighting! U2 has NEVER let us down and we know that it is worth the wait!!!! Can't wait to hear you sing the new tunes in '11! Get well Bono! We love you!!!!!!! Brenda in Cleveland, OH

Take your time
Hi Bono, take your time to recover and listen to yourself and your doctors. Thanks Edge for this information, I can't wait to see you in Hannover and Brussels (I hope, if Bono has recovered by then) and hear the new songs you're talking about. What very special for us to hear the songs before you record them. Take care Bono and good luck. Monique
