U2 frontman Bono promised Sunday that he will be "back to full voice" after he "suffered a complete loss of voice" during a concert in Berlin.

The show, held Saturday at Mercedes Benz Arena as part of the Irish band's eXPERIENCE & iNNOCENCE tour, was called off early after smoke machines reportedly affected the singer's voice.

In a statement on the U2's official website, Bono said he had sought medical advice and will be back in form for the rest of the tour.

"So happy and relieved that anything serious has been ruled out. My relief is tempered by the knowledge that the Berlin audience were so inconvenienced. There was an amazing atmosphere in the house, it was going to be one of those unforgettable nights but not for this reason..." he said in the statement.

 

The singer announced November 13 as the date of the rescheduled show in Berlin.

On Saturday, Bono attempted to sing "Beautiful Day" before leaving the stage. He experienced discomfort while he was performing "Red Flag Day".

The group opened the European segment of its tour in Berlin on Friday.

U2 is next due to perform September 4 at Cologne in Germany.
