Thank you
Many thanks for the update on Bono and plans for the tour. I have a feeling you will all have to sit on Bono to make sure he doesn't try to take any short cuts in his recovery process. Looking forward to seeing all of you in 2011! Peace, Linda

I've been praying
since I heard on Friday. Longtime lapsed Catholic, now have rosary beads by my bed. Please follow your doctors' orders, no matter how hard it is. We miss you, we love you, and we don't want anything awful to happen to you. I really hope this isn't as hard on you as I fear. HUGS! See you in Chicago and E. Lansing!

I do not believe in a god, but I do believe in the Medical skills of my German neighbours. And I do believe that you guys will play the best you ever did when I will see you in Hannover and Brussel. Untill then we will just enjoy the greatest music dvd ever from last year!(sorry I've already seen some clips of it;)). Get Well!! Cheers from The Netherlands!

Thanks Edge for your time!!!!!
Please Bono don't feel guilty. You and the Band are more than worth waiting for. So please be obedient to your surgeons, and push through the painful rehab. I Love you all so much, I would happily watch you all in wheelchairs on stage. We would love to see you in West Oz or we will even travel the 3000 km distance to East Oz, Just 3000 km one way. But Bono, I have had similar surgery and I was 26 at time. Don't rush it back on your feet are "Some Days Are Better That Other". You take your time as we don't all heal at the same speed. All the best to Ali (My biggest Idol) and your family. Please don't be Stubborn. Rest up and enjoy the Pain Killers.

Thank you ever so much for your very personal message about Bonos condition and your thoughts on the postponed tour!! Feels as if I was almost a part of your circle of friends and I wish I could in an equally personal way convey my hopes for Bonos recovery and your work with new songs and tour preparations!!

Bono.....those things are awful for your back.....you don't need them anyway....you are a larger than life person anyway. As always, Edge you are a class act. I was a bit sleepless in Seattle when I heard the words "emergency surgery" but will happily accept a reschedule vs a cancellation. Nardodog in Seattle

Get well Bono. These would have been and WILL BE my 10th and 11th shows. They only seem to get better and better. We've had the privilege of meeting you guys a couple times, and you not only gave us the time, but went out of your way to do it. You are great role models, and the best band in the world, bar none!!! God bless, and see you in 2011

Edge, Many thanks for taking the time to send us this update. Everyone wants to see Bono back on his feet running around that ring and swinging on the mike! I wonder, what music does Bono listen to in times like this? U2 has really helped me through the toughest of times. Be strong Bono! We love you. See you at Soldier Field again!

Thanks Edge. Bono, please take care of yourself. Your fans will wait. This year, next year, it doesn't matter. It's more important that you are well. Be a good boy and do what you're told!

Will wait as long as it takes
Bono I was very sad to hear about your back surgery. Started praying as soon as I heard about it. So Please follow doctors orders, will rather have you 100% better no matter how long it takes than to risk something going wrong again, we all need you Bono. Think of the Edge, don't make him have to tie you down. :) Your the Greatest band around and I Love U2 so much. Can't wait to see all of you in Miami 2011 (My 2nd concert) and listen to the new songs live. xo Sonia
