U2 frontman Bono has told the New York Times it is still unclear whether he will be able to play guitar again as he continues to recover from a cycling accident last year.
The nature of the injuries sustained by Bono in New York were not at first described by the band as being too serious , but it subsequently emerged that he had suffered significant damage to his face and arms.
Giving an update in a new interview, it’s revealed Bono has still not regained full mobility in his hands and it remains unclear ‘if I will ever play guitar again’.
“I really used to think that my head was harder than any surface it came in contact with, and I don’t anymore,” he said. “I didn’t come off a Harley-Davidson. I came off a push bike and smashed myself to bits. There is no glory here.
“It feels like I have somebody else’s hand, I can’t bend these, and this is like rigor mortis. But they say that nerves heal about a millimeter a week, so in about 13 months I should know if it’s coming back.”
