Back in November on a Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
severely injured himself from a bike accident in Central Park. The singer has pretty much been silent about his broken collar bone since then, but he celebrated the New Year by breaking his silence. The singer wrote a long essay detailing the things he cares about from A to Z, and buried within the letter I is that his guitar playing days might be over. He said, “Recovery has been more difficult than I thought… As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again.” Then he added. “The band have reminded me that neither they nor Western civilization are depending on this.” Am I the only person who didn’t realize he played the guitar and I saw U2 live.
Hopefully, with time, he will recover and be the old musician that he was before the accident. Even if he isn’t, his powerful voice will continue on.
