The frontman of the Irish rock group U2 Bono's bike injuries are worse than thought as he had to undergo hours of surgery for fractures to his face and shoulder blade after his New York's Central Park cycling accident.
The 54-year-old singer, who was trying to avoid another cyclist when the accident occurred, had to cancel his weeklong residency with U2 on 'The Tonight Show' due to the bike spill, Stuff.co.nz reported.
It was reported that Bono was rushed to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center's Emergency Department, where he underwent multiple X-rays and CAT scans followed by hours of surgery.
According to the reports, the singer had more surgery on his fractured left pinky and his bone in the upper arm shattered in six places and tore through the skin, requiring three metal plates and 18 screws to repair the injury.
The group released a statement on its website on 16th Nov to announce that Bono had injured his arm in a cycling spill in Central Park and requires some surgery to repair it.
