U2 frontman Bono says he fears that he may never play guitar again following a bike accident last November. He made the comment in his A to Z of 2014, published on the band’s website.
Bono broke his arm in six places and fractured his eye socket, hand and shoulder blade in what he called a “freak accident” in New York. In the letter to his fans, he said he was unable to move around physically and would have to “concentrate hard” to be fit for U2’s next tour.
The 54-year-old Dubliner revealed he now had a titanium elbow.
Bono continued: “Recovery has been more difficult than I thought. As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again.”
“I personally would very much miss fingering the frets of my green Irish falcon or my (red) Gretsch. Just for the pleasure, aside from writing tunes.”
