After a horrible biking accident, U2's front man, Bono broke his arm in six placed and fractured his eye socket. And even after over five hours in surgery to repair the damage, Bono will still apparently require intensive therapy to fully recover.

But in an open letter he wrote to fans, the rock star shares that he's unable to move around physically and would have to "concentrate hard" to be fit enough for U2's next tour.

The incident has been dubbed by the star as "a high energy bicycle accident when he attempted to avoid another rider." Further, the rocker shares how he was on painkillers for weeks, due to a massive injury caused by no one but himself.

Apart from now having a titanium elbow, Bono also shares that "Recovery has been more difficult than I thought. As I write this, it is not clear that I will ever play guitar again. 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."

The musician has also cancelled all public appearances and says his note might be the only contact between himself and his fans for a while.
