U2 out of Glastonbury as Bono rests

U2 HAVE cancelled their headline slot at Glastonbury after singer Bono was told to rest for at least two months following emergency surgery, it was confirmed yesterday.

The singer said he was "heartbroken" after pulling out of the show, which had been booked to mark the festival's 40th anniversary. The band have also been forced to postpone 16 shows on the north American leg of their U2360 Tour.

Bono suffered a back injury last week and was discharged from Ludwig Maximilians-University Hospital in Munich, Germany, yesterday.
