LOS ANGELES — U2 lead singer Bono has been released from Ludwig Maximilians-University (LMU) Hospital in Munich, where he underwent emergency surgery on Friday for a back injury. “Bono suffered severe compression of the sciatic nerve,” Dr. Muller Wohlfahrt said in a statement on the band’s official Web site. “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. I recommended Bono have emergency spine surgery with Professor Tonn at Munich’s LMU University Hospital on Friday.” read more
