This may come as sad, or very happy, news for some people but by the sounds of it, Bono is not impressed.

The U2 frontman fell off his bike in New York last year, breaking his arm in six places and fracturing his elbow.

And although he’s getting better, he’s revealed this could be end of his playing days and he may never finger the frets of his guitar again. (His words, not ours).

“Recovery has been more difficult than I thought... As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again,” he wrote on the band’s website.

“The band have reminded me that neither they nor Western civilization are depending on this.

“I personally would very much miss fingering the frets of my green Irish falcon or my (RED) Gretsch.

“Just for the pleasure, aside from writing tunes. But then does the Edge, or Jimmy Page, or any guitarist you know have a titanium elbow, as I do now? I'm all elbows, I am.”

Luckily for the band, the Edge is the lead guitarist so all is not actually lost.

Get well soon, Bono. We're sure you'll get there in the end...
