Just as the band, U2, is rock in the US, lead singer Bono is checked into a Munich hospital where he undergoes emergency back surgery. Apparently he was injured while preparing for the next leg of their 360 degrees world tour. A spokes person for Bono said of his condition, “Bono will spend the next few days there, before returning home to recuperate. Once his condition has been assessed further, a statement will be made regarding the impact on forthcoming tour dates.” The first concert, scheduled for June 3rd in Salt Lake City, has been postponed. Other dates may be postponed as well, depending on Bono’s recovery. U2’s manager said, “It’s unfortunate that we’re inconveniencing fans. We will make plans to reinstate these dates as soon as possible.”

In Chaz Bono’s first interview since first announcing in June that he would undergo a sex change, the child of Cher and the late Sonny Bono says that after 40 years, he is finally enjoying life as a man.
Bono, formerly known as Chastity, tells Entertainment Tonight in an interview airing Thursday and Friday, that the ordeal was “a long process going back almost a decade.”

He also says he “got clean and sober in 2004 and I couldn’t have done this before that.”
Bono has been undergoing a female-to-male sex change and gender reassignment surgery since March, and the process has already had significant physical changes on his body, which he jokes is like “literally going through puberty.”
“It lowered my voice,” he tells Entertainment Tonight. “Fat redistributes, muscle growth, hair growth, sex drive increases… I shave about once a week now.”
When it came time to have surgery to have his breasts removed, he told Entertainment Tonight that “it was a relief.”
