U2 lead vocalist Bono recently had a bicycle accident in New York City, resulting in a broken arm and eye-socket fracture.
According to New York's Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, Bono underwent two surgical procedures when he was treated there. The five-hour surgery repaired his arm fracture, involving three metal plates and 18 screws.
Bono had another operation for his left hand on the following day, Monday.
The 54-year-old frontman is required to have intensive and progressive therapy, said orthopaedic surgeon Dean Lorich. However, a full recovery will be expected after the process.
The band posted an announcement on its official website on Monday saying that Bono acquired an injury in a cycling spill and will be undergoing a surgery.
It said that the hospital declared Bono to be involved in a high-energy bicycle accident after attempting to dodge another rider.
The accident, meanwhile, prompted the band to postpone their week-long guesting with the "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon."
Bono's bandmates--Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr.--positively said that after his full recovery, he will be back with U2 in no time.
After participating in the Band Aid 30 charity single recording that happened in London, Bono came back to the U.S. on Saturday.
Thirty years after its original release, the latest version of "Do You Know It's Christmas?" will be sold to raise funds for fighting against the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
