Irish Central has reported that Bono will return to Ireland over the next few days to recuperate after his shock emergency back surgery.

The upcoming dates on U2’s 360 Tour have been shelved after Bono’s back was injured while the band was rehearsing in Germany.

Sources are remaining tight-lipped about the type of surgery and a statement is expected from the band over the next few days.

U2.com is telling fans only that Bono was “admitted to a specialist neuro surgery unit in a Munich hospital, and is under the care of neurosurgeon Prof. Dr. Jorg Tonn and Dr Muller Wohlfahrt
