Just a suggestion for U2's management, but perhaps the CLAW ramps could be equipped with guard rails to prevent any future falls? Either that, or Bono could wear a suit of Nerf material instead of lights. Just sayin'.
OMG.
OMG.

Well, Gavin did tweet "Rise" this morning. I interpreted that to mean that Bono was getting out of bed.
Maybe he was baking bread or Yorkshire puddings.

... Jesus... we even know if he's gonna to be really ok... and u want the dates of the tour now... I'm sorry but i can't understand what's the hurry...
i don't believe they're going to let any date away if Bono gets better... but maybe u'll have to wait a little while...
i'm sorry... but...come on
let's pray for him, not for the tour dates

Had to leave the house for a few hours so I skipped to the last couple of pages of this thread when I got home. Bacon sandwiches and bouncy houses? Must be no news.

Sadly, no matter what the news, a good chunk of us will need to use this:
Instant No Button! Star Wars funnies FTW!

Just had a moment to look at all the posts. WOW!!! What a day!!! It is now 12:50 am in the morning in Ireland and hopefully Bono is resting quietly. But WTF??? How come we haven't heard anything??? I am going nuts right now!!!
Wanted to comment on a few posts so please be patient with me. This is the only time I can go onto this website!
Must be nice to check all these posts at work...I have big Brother at my workplace!!!
Not too bad...Between Sicy's Segway and this scooter, Bono will be able to manouver around the stage quite nicely. I still get visions of bubbles or confetti coming from the back though...
I am beginning to feel like this now...is Bono OK? That's all I want to know at this point!!!!
This looks like fun!!!
I hope you are right about the no news is good news.
My patience is wearing thin!!!
My son's birthday is 2 weeks from today. I might follow U2Mama's lead and borrow that bouncy house with the claw.
To heck with the Nerf material. There is always BUBBLE WRAP!!! (That's what I tell my students at school...)

I would love it if Paul made a statement that included our favorite phrase:
"I know all fans have many questions, primarily - IS BONO OKAY?" And then of course, tell us he is.

Postscript #2: Greg Gunn, the fan in Salt Lake City who was sharing video of the stage construction at Rice-Eccles earlier this week, has posted an update on Twitter that says one of the U2 360 truck drivers told him they're relocating to Minneapolis. We'd caution against assuming that all shows before Minneapolis on June 27th will be postponed. Keep in mind that there are three stages in use on the tour.
Postscript #3: Over the weekend, Greg posted again to say that the trucks were not going to Minneapolis after all, and instead were staying at Rice-Eccles Stadium until they receive new instructions.
So no real news there. Like Tom Petty said: "The waiting is the hardest part..."
Saw this on another site...

I need that bouncy house for my daughters birthday party

Probably as often as we hit our F5 keys for blue crack updates...
Bubble wrap! First thing that came to mind was "Dude, Where's My Car?"

Ah yes, but they tried that already during the Popmart era and it ended up being far too much trouble/tempation for the PLEBAns..

Possibly the issue is that they know that the will have to postpone shows but would rather handle the whole thing at once by arranging the make-up dates and then announcing the postponed shows and what and where the make-up dates would be.

This?
Yes. Bono should return the compliment by wearing a suit of Kermits.
I'm not sure it will be possible with this short notice to already be able to announce the make-up dates. They couldn't even do that when they had to postpone the Aussie/NZ/Hawaii shows during Vertigo. It took a few months to sort that out.

Someone told me why don't they move the SLC show to June 9 or 10, the gap between Anaheim and Denver (if no more dates are postponed). For me, I have no clue where that date will go.

The need days off. Bono's voice needs days off between shows. There is no guarantee that the Anaheim and Denver shows will take place. At this point it is still up in the air. The SLC show was a last minute addition.
If they do start in Anaheim, they may just cancel SLC. But if they postpone SLC, Anaheim, Denver... they may reschedule. If they postpost the whole leg, chances are they would reschedule the whole leg.

Paul McG should come out with a "Bono made it thru surgery, he is resting now. I will tell you something about the tour when there is something to report. Please be patient" Us fans giving a damn about Bono and U2 is what made them who they are. A little news is not too much too ask. If there were no tour and no ablum being written - like 2007 -we would still care just as much as we do now. Please guys! On Tuesday: some news about our boy!

Please tell me people aren't going to start being actually angry about there being no updates. He had surgery on Friday - can we save the anger until it's been a week or something?
I know people are concerned, and people need to figure out travel plans, but I don't think anger is in any way appropriate.
Not sure if the poster above me is actually angry, but on this site? I can totally see it happening.
let's all just go stir-crazy with anxious silliness instead, k?

I'll agree here. Just need to know Bono's status, and from there the plans can be made.

Considering a lot of the cities that are being played have not had a show yet on the tour.

Just caught up on the thread, home from work.
Sorry to interrupt but that Facebook group "Support for Bono's Back Problem" sounds like they are selling ACE bandages
Not joining just because of the title.
It should be "well wishes for Bono's recovery" or something like that. Ya?
Whateva.

cori, remember this interference. people will bitch about anything and everything. Thank God McGuinness did not release a handwritten statement on Friday, otherwise people here would start analyzing his handwriting!
