Β Okay, it was World AIDS Day, so the show had to go on. Β But the big, free concert with U2 had to go on without Bono. Β 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. Β
The 54-year-old singer is having a rough couple of months. Β He had to bow out of the concert because he’s still in recovery from a pretty massive bicycle accident. Β 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. Β 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. Β Bono is U2. Β So is it okay to replace Bono, and still tour as U2?
