Perhaps he just stepped on a banana peel? ...way too many times.

That happens to me often too. DAMN THOSE BANANA PEELS!!
LOL

But Hey, who ever said being a singer in a rock`N´roll band is easy?
You get hurt in ANY job.

Woohoo! You and me both!

You and me 3!

No he was fine after, it was just amusing

Yes it was! I couldnt help but chuckle esp that he was okies.

Poor Bono, I'm sure these falls were scary for the others as well. Adam has once said in an interview that after a huge fall with the white flag on the War Tour (if I can recall properly...) it became a rule that: "Do not leave the stage without written permission of all three others!"

How did he break his arm that time? I have the JT concert where his arm's in a sling and didn't know how he did it! I assumed a usual Bono mishap!

He slipped on a wet stage and dislocated his shoulder.

Let me think....He fell at Loreley in 83. He slipped in Tempe and cut his chin. He slipped on a wet stage in Washington, DC and dislocated his shoulder. He got excited because he could sing again and fell off the stage in Adelaide in 89. And, he fell during Elevation. I don't doubt there are more.

I was there in Adelaide in 89. One moment he's running around yelling "I can sing!!!!", next minute he's not there! (he slipped from the stage to the catwalk about a foot down). He continued singing while sitting on a chair on the catwalk.

It was very funny!

omg, bono wearing that green white and orange shirt ....wow. i've never seen that. it's a TOTAL coincidence that i painted my room orange and green this summer (differenyl sized, randomly placed stripes in 4 different shades)

 

[yeter]

that looks really cool!

How many times has he actually fallen off the stage? I know about the awful R&H one which resulted in the sling, and at least once during the Elevation tour... I hate to think of him being frightened or even worse, hurt... but after the first fall, you might kind of think he'd avoid the edge of the stage

He didn't fall off the stage, but in February 1985 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Bono got the heel of his boot caught in between some staging/equipment. He sat down where he was and kept on singing. He can get himself into some interesting situations, can't he?

I have the picture around here somewhere, but we've moved since I've looked at them last....I need to go find that box!

Is it October yet?
