When 17 they wanted to take my leg and said I'd never walk again. I didn't let them and I walked fine. With time and hard work I ran. With courage and perseverance I now do what I ski, golf and do many physical activities. They may tell you that you won't play guitar again but if it's in your heart, with some hardwork and perseverance you can. As my father told me all his life while sipping his Irish whiskey at night, you can do anything you want if you're willing to work hard and believe in yourself. I look forward to hearing you play again.

None of us knows what the future might bring. Rest and be well. We love you.

I hope your recovery is going well.

I had the same arm injury in 1994. A lot of pain, several screws 20 years later, I'm cool! Take the time to heal properly. You know we will be here waiting for you when you are recovered. And a Happy Christmas to you all!

You are very strong and vivacious, very soon be fully recovered! Greetings, Roberto (Monte Mor / SP, Brazil).

Bono, we love you and will wait for you to be well. It doesn't matter how long it takes. I've been with you since 1984, and I know a lot of others have, too. All that matters is that you are OK. I will look forward to seeing you when you are well. Much love always, Missy Quincy, IL

Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Remember to keep up the daily physiotherapy and our Volcano will be back in full flow very soon. Big hugs from all your fans back home in Ireland. xx

We'll wait for you. Shoulder surgery and screws/plates are no fun to recover from -- take all the time you need to do it right. God keep you safe!

It'll take some time for you to heal, Bono. You're in great hands at the hospital and hoping your recovery will be with much rest and that your intensive and progressive therapy will go smoothly. All the best to your family, The Edge, Adam, Larry and crew too.

Take care Bono...

I'm so sorry to hear what happened. Take care, don't rush your recovery, and know that we're all there for you.
