Thank you Edge for the insight on Bono. I enjoyed starting my day off with 1 of you giving me such great insight and hope for the future. I mean really isn't the future what U2 is all about? A speedy recovery and a full healthy return is now in my daily morning prayer. Get well Bono and get state side to rock us!

Thank you The Edge
I knew I was very, very upset when I heard that Bono was hurt. I have tickets for the Miami show and was crushed to hear that the show will be delayed. However, I was much more concerned about Bono. It sounds like he is going to be alright!! Thank God!! Bono take all the time you need to recover. I think it is very classy that The Edge took the time out to speak to the fans about this matter. Thank you. Oh and looking forward to the new songs!! Bono get well soon.

Edge, thank you so much for this detailed report. It's what we all needed. Please don't let him take any "shortcuts" and please don't feel locked into starting back until 100% ready. We love you all and only want everyone healthy and happy. Please stay in touch with reports. Thank you! <3

Thanks for the personal update
Thanks Edge. Really appreciate the personal update as well as your humor (another one of those things i love about U2)! I wish Bono all the best and can't wait to see you guys when you reschedule the Meadowlands show. Remember to chain him down though if he tries pushing himself too fast :-)

EAUROPEAN TOUR PLANS
I'm suppose to be heading to see the lads in Vienna in late August. I notice that none of the Euro dates have been postponed (so far!), and I'm hoping that they go ahead. I'm traveling from Wexford in Ireland to the gig in Austria...I guess I'll have to just wait and see how Bono's recovery goes. Fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed !! GET WELL SOON BUDDY.

Thank you, Edge
I appreciate you taking the time to let everyone know that he's not at death's door. You no doubt heard the collective sigh of relief from the Zootopians. You know your BlackBerry has a memo function? You could have gotten him really good. Let this be a lesson to you lad. And he wasn't making much sense? Well, nothin' new there. You might want to remind him that pain meds and wine are not a good mix (generally speaking).

THANK YOU
Dear Edge, thank you for giving us some information about Bono´s health. Hearing the terrible news about his back injury I was shocked, I have never heard anything about his serious problems before. Now I am relieved that he already feels a bit better and that he takes enough time to recover completely, because health is really the most important thing. And dear Bono, I wish you a full and quick recovery and I hope that you will never have to go through such a severe pain again. And I would like to thank you for all the beautiful moments your music has given me. Last year I had the luck to see your amazing concert in Berlin. The big energy and beauty of songs like "The Unforgettable Fire" made me feel shivers. Of course I am looking forward to seeing you again in my country Austria, but remember, your health is always much more important than all the concerts. RESTART AND RE-BOOT YOURSELF ONLY LOVE CAN HEAL SUCH A SCAR Greetings from Austria Pam aka musicabona

Take care
"I know it aches How your heart it breaks And you can only take so much Walk on, walk on... Leave it behind You've got to leave it behind"... Don't rush your recovery process!! You have to take care of yourself first. We'll always be here, don't worry.

The Edge, say to Bono we are with him and we hope he will be in good health soon. See you soon all together in a Stadium across the world.

Good to Hear
Hearing from the band was much needed. Good to know that Bono received medical attention early enough to repair any damage. Oh, and THANK FUCKING GOD that new songs are in store. Thanks Edge, this legitimately made me feel a ton better (Y)

The Edge really needs to hold Bono's hands to the fire on his promise to give him his car and various artwork. He has to teach Bono to be a man of his word, after all! Bono can't just revert to "selective memory!" Surgery or no surgery! ;)

LMAO
"He said he'd give me his car, and some paintings" that was so funny! Thanks so much for the update Edge, nice to see you . Katie Lovering

Chaining him down
You're absolutely right, chain him down if he tries to get up and going too soon! We (fans) can wait, his health is now most important thing to maintain. -Nitta S. / Finland

But anyway thanks for taking the time to gives us an update, personally I was very shocked/surprised to hear this. I wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to the concerts in Denmark.
