Rock band U2 have been forced to cancel a series of TV appearances after lead singer Bono crashed his bike in New York's Central Park.
According to a brief announcement on the band's website, Bono — real name Paul Hewson — injured his arm in a cycling spill in Central Park and will need surgery.
The band had been due to appear on The Tonight Show every day this week, but that's now on hold.
"It looks like we will have to do our Tonight Show residency another time," the band said. "We're sure he'll make a full recovery soon, so we'll be back!"
Bono is reported to be a keen cyclist and earlier this year was snapped riding with his wife Alison Hewson near their French holiday home in Eze-sur-Mer.

Could I politely request that
Could I politely request that all Daily Heil links are clearly marked as such?
I’ve just ended up clicking on that link before realising and I would prefer to not boost their websites figures.

I second that – I’ve got hypocritical celebrity bullshit burned on to my retina now!

You need to get a browser that shows a handy-dandy address for a link. It will greatly improve your security, as well as preventing you from being offended by the Daily Fail’s tat in future.
HTH.

Have there been any requests
Have there been any requests on here for help choosing a new bike along the lines of:
‘Hi guys. Looking for some advice on choosing a bike. I’ll mainly be riding it with my multi-millionaire, rockstar husband around Central Park. I have an unlimited budget but don’t really want to spend more than about £500.’
Recently heard this
Recently heard this sanctimonious t*t being interviewed. Sick of hearing millionaire tax dodgers telling the rest of us how our governments should spend our taxes on their causes. Interviewers appear unable to ask these type of people the hard questions that politicians face.
Goodness, I don’t envy bono
Goodness, I don’t envy bono much but it’d be nice to have a house down near Nice. His is right on the sea. Much nicer up in the hills I think, for the cycling and the view. I suppose his is handier for the yacht-based pals!
So much jealousy floating
So much jealousy floating through here ?
IF reporting that BONO had a prat fall , helps keep the mug driver from driving TOO CLOSE to Cyclists as they force their way thru traffic , the article will have proved beneficial !
Currently in Sydney and finding that the reality here is not as bad as reported in the headlines .
Clover Moore could start Cycle lanes at the intersectiions rather than 50 -100m up the road , but then , no matter how quick you get going again some will have to spin their wheels as they shower Cyclists with their unnecessary exhaust fumes .
