U2 frontman Bono says he fears that he may never play guitar again following a bike accident last November.<\/p>\n
He made the comment in his A to Z of 2014, published on the band’s website.<\/p>\n
Bono broke his arm in six places and fractured his eye socket, hand and shoulder blade in what he called a “freak accident” in New York.<\/p>\n
In the letter to his fans, he said he was unable to move around physically and would have to “concentrate hard” to be fit for U2’s next tour.<\/p>\n
At the time, the hospital where Bono was being treated said he had been involved in “a high-energy bicycle accident when he attempted to avoid another rider”.<\/p>\n
The Irish rocker spoke this week about being on painkillers for weeks and said he had a “massive injury, I can’t blame on anyone but myself”.<\/p>\n
The 54-year-old Dubliner revealed he now had a titanium elbow.<\/p>\n
