Bono Released from Hospital Following Emergency Back Surgery

Bono Released from Hospital Following Emergency Back Surgery

U2 frontman Bono has reportedly been released from a Munich hospital following an emergency back procedure, and will begin a rehabilitation program for the next eight weeks.

"Bono suffered severe compression of the sciatic nerve. On review of his MRI scan, I realized there was a serious tear in the ligament and a herniated disc, and that conservative treatment would not suffice," Dr. Muller Wohlfahrt told Us magazine. "I recommended Bono have emergency spine surgery with Professor Tonn at Munich's LMU University Hospital on Friday."

Dr. Wohlfahrt continues, "We are treating Bono as we would treat any of our athletes, and while the surgery has gone very well, the coming weeks are crucial for a return to full health."
