I wonder if they can make announcements about postponing dates before things involving venues and contracts are finalized?
Is there contractual red tape that might be holding back any news about that?

I think that the "he's doing fine" was implied with the news that in a few days, he'd be recuperating at home, and that the date(s) would be rescheduled.

But whats he having for dinner?

I worry that, too
I live close to Munich and it's almost 10 p. m. here, so no news will come out of the hospital today. It's also a public holiday here today. Let's hope there will be some announcement made tomorrow or on Wednesday, at least about Bono's current condition. I don't need any details if it's too private for them to say so, I just want to know if the surgery went ok and if he's doing fine.

Yeah, if I'm remembering the initial statement correctly, it kind of read to me like the surgery was already done and they anticipated him being home in a couple of days.

I think that's the thing. People have to be reasonable in their expectations. While there's a handful of hardcore fans that aren't satisfied with the news they were given, the vast majority probably don't feel the need for more specific info such as "is he back on solid foods yet?" or "how many stitches does he have?"
Paul McG probably just didn't anticipate that some people would want to know more.

Sorry, whichever video sharing sites were around then. I remember fans trying to share the video of him falling backwards over the edge (lowercase E) and they had been pulled.

Sorry, but no one is asking for that type of detail. Making a statement as simple as "Bono is fine" would be more than sufficient.

He seems to do that a lot.
LOL... there was also D.C. '87 when he fell onstage and broke his arm. He soldiered on with his arm in a sling for the next few shows! :man-up-Bono:

I personally, actually do NOT need to know the details at all, thank you. However, I believe that many of us are a bit concerned because the statement that was released seemed to focus more on the tour/SLC (which is fine,) but less on the fact that he is doing ok. I think Paul really could have simply stated that Bono was doing well. That is all. And yes, I'm sure if he wasn't ok it would be on the nightly news. But it is hard to listen to the statement, and the fact that we haven't heard anything else and not think or worry that there is something really wrong. I apologize for being human and caring, but as I sift thru the threads it seems like many of us "hardcore fans " have the same concern, and many people on all the boards have stated that they don't need to know the cause of the surgery but would like to know he is ok.

Yes, I'm aware of that, that was intentional hyperbole. I still stand by my earlier premise though that "he is fine" was implied by Paul's statement on Friday.

Oh, and for anyone who gets Palladia, U2 Equals BBC is going to be on at 5pm EST -- it's the 30 min program that they did on the BBC rooftop when they were doing NLOTH promo.

Exactly. After 3 days since the original announcement it really seems like the entire U2 camp have gone to ground. Not a reassuring word from anyone - fellow bandmates, PRs, McG, Willie Williams, Friday, Sam O etc. Equally not a word of bad news either. U2 have been a big part of my life for the past 23 years and I make no apologies about giving a s%$@ about Bono's health. Please someone say something.

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.

That would be perfect
What statement by Paul? All he talked about was the tour that was disrupted because of Bono's emergency surgery and that after his condition was assessed they'd provide more information.
The statement about Bono recuperating at home was not attributed to anyone, didn't know that was a Paul statement.

So tell us about us "hardcore" fans? I hope the b man is fine I really do. Either the shows will happen sooner or later. It sucks for friends of mine who have major travel plans happening and now everything is up in the air. "BREATHE" people it will be fine
