Okay, it was World AIDS Day, so the show had to go on. But the big, free concert with U2 had to go on without Bono. And while they had a cavalcade of top-tier celebrities to fill in for him, if you wanted U2, you might have felt ripped off.
The 54-year-old singer is having a rough couple of months. He had to bow out of the concert because he’s still in recovery from a pretty massive bicycle accident. He wrecked in New York’s Central Park, getting a compound fracture in six places in his arm, broken bones in his face, a busted left shoulder and a fracture in his hand. That: shortly after the band announced a tour for their new album.
Bruce Springsteen and Chris Martin may be awesome of their own, but they’re not part of U2. Bono is U2. So is it okay to replace Bono, and still tour as U2?
