Sure they have the right. But I have the right to wear panties on the outside of my pants for the whole world to view but that doesn't do me any good or make me look very appealing. Ian that is a funny image! I dont think Bono wears his underwear on the outside but I get your point!

Since I am one of the few Bono fans on Rocks off I feel compelled to defend him as a great frontman, singer, performer, man who cares about the world we live in, and Egde and the band are true rockers. I have followed U2 ever since they started out and Bono is sexy as hell, I met him in NY a long time ago, and he is super HOT! So thats about all I need to say. A 10 in my book. I wish him well with the back surgery, I have had to endure 2 back surgeries and I know this for a fact, he will never be 'good as new' again, so I wish him well and I hope he doesnt get hooked on pain pills. Thats the side effect which is more damaging than the surgery itself. I also have a ticket for July's Meadowlands show, and if he performs I hope he will not be strung out on pain medicine, but thats the easiest way to get through a big tour. I'm worried about him!

Tour promoters Live Nation have confirmed that the 16 U2360° shows from Salt Lake City on June 3rd, through to New Jersey's Meadowlands Stadium on July 19th, will be rescheduled for 2011.

U2 tour producer/promoter Arthur Fogel, CEO of Live Nation Global Touring, said, 'Although we understand the disappointment to U2 fans, first and foremost comes the recovery of Bono.'

Additional details on rescheduled dates will follow shortly and fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets. We'll have all the information on U2.com as soon as it's confirmed.

Music, to me, is the joy, right? I love my kids most of the time, and I love my wife most of the time. Music I love all the time. It's the only constant thing in my life. It's the one thing you can count on. :Keith Richards 1993

The Stones aren't playing, ya say? I read a newspaper report as recently as a month ago that they were still almost certain to be added to the bill.

I'm a U2 fan too, not afraid to deny it... alot of folks hate them ,just b/c it's cool to hate on them. Been a fan since thier first single... they write and record some of the best/catchiest pop rock songs... they've clunked a bunch, but remian pretty consistent and have endured long enough to have shut up and shut down the naysayers and haters...
I like them b/c Bono can sing and The Edge has one of the most distinctive guitar sounds and styles...

Following today's news that the 2010 U2 360 North American Tour has been postponed, Edge did a brief radio interview on KROQ-FM in Los Angeles. He reiterated earlier statements about Bono's disappointment over postponing the tour and the need to focus on making sure Bono gets well. Regarding the next leg of the tour, Edge said:

"We're 95% confident that Bono will be back in time for our European leg. The doctors are saying minimum of eight weeks. Now, I know Bono, and we're gonna have to chain him down to stop him from getting back out there. But we will endeavour to make sure that he doesn't go back too soon, which would be the danger. So, yeah, I'd say mid-August we'll be back."

The European leg of the tour is due to start on August 6th in Turin, Italy. So Edge's comments make it sound like there's a chance at least some of those shows may be postponed, too. Edge also spoke about the new song U2 had written specifically for the Glastonbury Festival performance, a song we'll all have to wait to hear. And he hinted that U2 may put out some new material soon, without going the traditional album route:

"We're very excited about our next project. Our question now is, What's the quickest way we can get this stuff out? It's so about this moment. We almost don't want to wait until we put a new CD together, but we'll see."

Let's hope he gets better soon. Back injuries are very painful and hard ro recover from. Sorry for those that have tix for canceled shows but hopefully they will get re-scheduled. Not a fan anymore but not interested in kicking someone who is hurt and liked by many. there's less than one chance in ten billion Stones fill in any dates anywhere.

Sweet! OK the date is suppsed to be rescheduled sometime in the future (next year?) so you can have that beer, and a white wine for me

I saw her today at the reception, a glass of wine in her hand, I knew she was there to meet her connection, at her feet was a footloose man

I always heard about Jagger's pre-tour training...including jogging about 5 miles a day with 2 miles BACKWARDS...because thats what he would clock in a nite during the 1981 and earlier stadium shows...

Speedy recovery to Bono...I have tickets for the
New Meadowlands Staduim...great show in Raleigh last October!!!

I hope The Stones, if they do stadiums again use the U2 stage...
It was AMAZING!!! Not a bad seat in the house!!!

________________________________

Why would The Rolling Stones use another bands stage?? Mr. Android, large scale bands never use another groups stage. They have their own stages built for the group and specific tour venture at hand.

I can remember the first time i heard "New Year's Day" and "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" -
I admit that Bono can come across as a bit pompous, but most people who campaign or are activists often come across that way - because the nature of activism comes from a sense of righteousness and most people tend to be cynical. In the early, plastic, synthesized 80s, when I was 15 or 16 and listening to the Clash and reading about Central America, U2 was a revelation.
I sometimes find Bono's answers to complicated issues simplistic, but I admire his passion to do good things. And he speaks well for Christianity.
