The Irish rock band U2 has cancelled a concert in Berlin after singer Bono lost his voice during the performance.
The band said on its website late Saturday that, « Bono was in great form and great voice prior to the show… but after a few songs he suffered a complete loss of voice. »
U2 said « we don’t know what has happened and we are taking medical advice. »
The German news agency dpa reported Sunday that Bono still managed to perform the song « Beautiful Day » with the help of the audience at Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz Arena and then disappeared backstage.
Concert-goers were first told that there would be a short break before eventually being informed that the show was over and they should keep their tickets for a replacement performance.
