Thanks Edge
Glad to hear Bono is resting. So many of us were quite concerned. Can't wait to see you in 2011! Wishing Bono all the best for a speedy recovery.

Thank You
Thank you from all of us in Newfoundland, Canada for taking the time to let us all know how Bono and the band are doing. I am so thankful for the influence U2 has had on my life. I'm 31 and have been listening to you since I was at least 10. The music of U2 has done so much for me, there are no words really. I saw you at the Giants Stadium in September and it was breathtaking - something I have been waiting my whole life to do and finally got the chance. I can't explain the feeling, it was an energy that I'm sure will remain with me forever. Thank you to each of you, gook luck, good health and God's speed. xoxo

All important health
Thanks Edge for your amusing update. Bono you don't need to worry about letting people down. You know you're loved and only wished the best of health and a full recovery, not too quick, don't rush it. We want to see you back as good as ever! It must be a cruel blow for all concerned, but things have a way of turning out for the best and you probably needed the rest. So here's to you and maybe you'll come up with your best song/s yet. Love to U2.

The Folly of Being Comforted
One that is ever kind said yesterday: "Your well-beloved's hair has threads of grey, And little shadows come about her eyes; Time can but make it easier to be wise Though now it seems impossible, and so All that you need is patience." Heart cries, "No, I have not a crumb of comfort, not a grain. Time can but make her beauty over again: Because of that great nobleness of hers The fire that stirs about her, when she stirs, Burns but more clearly. O she had not these ways When all the wild Summer was in her gaze." Heart! O heart! if she'd but turn her head, You'd know the folly of being comforted. W.B. Yeats Thanks for the update, Edge. Get well soon, Bono! Jim in Redlands, CA

Much Love
Thanks Edge for the update. I am so glad to hear Bono is on the backside of this... I wish him a speedy recovery and much love. I hope it is time well spent with himself, family and friends, for as you said, it is hard to find the time for ourselves and others in our busy lives. U2 has given so much, to so many, so I think it is our time to give back a little patience. U2 has brought so much joy and happiness into my life. What a gift you are to me. XOXO

Get Well Soon - We Love You!
Thanks to Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam for all the glorious years of rock and roll you've given us (fan since 1985). You've taken care of us, now it's time to take care of yourself. God bless and looking forward to rockin' with you in Miami as no one else can. Peace & Love, Gilda Mooney (Miami, FL)

Thank You!
Thanks for this info and for keeping everyone updated during what must be a stressful time for everyone involved. We really appreciate it!
Evelyn@U2
I am sure you'll have a lot to do...

ENJOY and RELAX

THANK YOU!
First saw you guys in LA in 1987 and I've been completely hooked on U2 ever since........ I was just a young college student then, and for 25 years, listening to U2 has inspired me to be a better singer, mother, wife, friend, etc... you have always been there to remind me how strong I can be through the absolute toughest of times. I wish there was a way I could give that back to you right now! Thank you for everything - your passion and commitment and honesty. My dream is to thank y'all in person one day!! You can bet I'll wait - when you do finally make it to the Oakland show, I'll be the one flying around the stadium - high on the moment - grateful for all the memories. LOVE YOU GUYS!

What holds us down, makes us stronger in
Glad to hear that Bono is doing better. With the tour in the US coming after Europe maybe you can come back to the Boston area. Hopefully you can fit us in. Good wishes from all the Bostonians to Bono. Speedy recovery.

Ultraviolet Love to Bono!!
While recuperating, you might even have ideas for new songs -- You and the rest of U2 have inspired me in so many ways. Your music has followed me from TN to MT to AZ and now CA. And after you have become well, I recommend that you visit Yosemite National Park whenever you come back to CA. I will definitely look forward to your return of you sharing your life with us on stage. Take care of yourself!!

Don't worry, Bono
You do so much for the rest of the world -- now take some time for yourself. Your fans adore you and are happy you are on the mend! See you in 2011!

50 Hurts Sometimes
Thanks Edge for the candid update. I just did the big 5-0 in December and some days everything aches. But I firmly believe that 50 is the new 20 - that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Denver would be our 16 year-old's 1st U2 show. He is an awesome musician and looking forward to seeing you guys live. Can't wait for the new stuff and the great old stuff. Rest, reflect, rest, rehab, rest, write..........and rest some more. Prayers & love to you all. Bono be good!
Back to basics
Sorry to see that you guys have to delay your touring due to Bono's back surgery. Even after his recovery he will always need to be careful and have support while he's touring. I often work with such Volks having back problems and also with post surgical complaints.... gentle effective energetic chiropractic would be a great support for him and the rest of the crew.... I've been touring for over 15 years doing this work throughout german speaking europe.... wish i could help best of luck derwegweiser@hotmail.com mycall

You mean Bono didn't find the 'real' sec
Very Happy to hear that Bono is on the road to recovery! So Edge....Bono really doesn't remember the conversation??? Maybe you could try what ever he had and find the rest of the secret to the universe and get it on tape....may have a translator this time! Great tour so far guys! Loved the Boston show live ...cannot wait to see you all return to Montreal!

Best Wishes
Dear Bono... really glad the surgery went well and I hope you heed the Doctor's advice and take as much time as is necessary to recover properly. 'Health' is the most important thing in anyone's life...everything else is gravy! :) So take good care of yourself, and we'll see you when you're back in 2011! God bless. ox Elaine Terry St. John's, Newfoundland Canada
