U2 back out of headline festival slot

U2 have cancelled their headline slot at Glastonbury after lead singer Bono was told to rest for at least two months following emergency surgery.

The frontman said he was “heartbroken” about having to pull out of the show, which was to mark the iconic festival’s 40th anniversary.

Bono has now been discharged from Ludwig Maximilians-University (LMU) Hospital in Munich, Germany, where he underwent emergency surgery on Friday.
