Everything is going to be OK
Dear Bono and U2, Plans have changed, but the fans love for you has not. I was planning on flying out to Anaheim and bought tickets for 6 shows this summer! I will make other plans until you're back. I am glad that you'll be back in action in a few months. It will be a welcome back like NO OTHER! i CAN'T WAIT! Love Deannna

Get well - and rest !!!
All weekend I couldn't stop thinking about Bono and his surgery - my husband had very similar surgery 4 years ago - excruciating pain - but is fully recovered now - we were looking forward to seeing the band in Toronto - but Bono's health is top priority...please follow doctor's orders and get well....we want you back !!!

Bono, take of yourself
Bono, I am very sad for your pain and pray for you daily. Just know that your good health is truly of the utmost importance. Please, don't try to rush your rehab - from it you will gain your the greatest healing and strength. May you feel the healing touch of every thought and prayer. Mo

Take care of You for once
You've tried to save the world Bono, take time for you. Enjoy your family and let people help you. Take your own advice Bono. Listen to what you've written. You can't always do it on your own. God Bless and the tour will always be there. Recover, get healthy. Enjoy those 2 little guys you still have at home. It goes so fast. All our love and prayers.

Thank you
Thank you for the update! Having had back problems, I can't stress enough how important it is to be religious about the physical therapy and rest... What is important is Bono's return to full health. I will certainly miss not seeing the band in Seattle in June but I can wait...It will only increase my anticipation. I am especially looking forward to hearing Magnificent as that song has been very meaningful to me.... My prayers are with Bono's recovery and the band's creative processes on the new songs. FD

All the best
Thanks for letting us know. Thanks for your sense of humour. Thanks for your music. Get some good rest and we'll be waiting for you. No doubt in my mind that it will be bigger and better. The show in Las Vegas was fantastic, I can't wait to see you guys in Seattle whenever it is in 2011.

Bono, get well! Thank you Edge
Thank you for you message Edge. You have no idea how worried we were. Bono didn´t disappointed us. He will, if he doesn’t take care of himself! You guys are always with us, it´s time we be there for you, holding as much as it takes for the concerts… we know we will see you soon, our only concern is Bono to recover soon. The world need him well! I truly believe that if they were a thousand “Bonos”, de world would be a much better place.
bono
I All the best for your recovery Bono. we just hope the European tour leg won't be affected by this. I know little selfish...But We are waiting this concert for 20 years...Please!! Bono take care yourself...u2 forever....

With love and support
Thank you, Edge, for taking the time to send such a personal message. In a time of medical emergency it is very heartening for longtime fans such as myself to hear from a member of the band directly. As a die hard follower for 25 years let it be said that the tour is the last thing on the minds of true fans. May you all surround Bono with care and some tough love and see that he recovers as he should. When the time is right you continue the tour and you had better believe what an enormous noise we will make to welcome back our beloved U2. With much love and respect from Canada.
