U2 singer Bono has injured his back and had to undergo emergency surgery in a Munich hospital. He was preparing for the North American leg of U2′s “360 Degree” tour.
From his publicist:

“Bono has today undergone emergency back surgery for an injury sustained during tour preparation training. He was admitted to a specialist neuro surgery unit in a Munich hospital. Bono will spend the next few days there, before returning home to recuperate. Once his condition has been assessed further, a statement will be made regarding the impact on forthcoming tour dates.”

Get well, dude!
