U2 frontman Bono suffers "complete loss of voice" while singing, apologizes to fans for canceling concert
U2 are arguably one of the greatest live performers of the generation but suffered a rare setback when they were forced to cancel their Berlin show after lead singer Bono suddenly lost his voice during the concert. The Irish rock band were performing at the Mercedes Benz Arena as a part of their Experience + Innocence tour but could not go on after a few songs due to the frontman's voice deteriorating.
As Bono sang the fourth song, Red Flag Day, it became apparent that he was facing some discomfort. He then tried to "soldier" on with the fifth song, Beautiful Day, but it got to a point where he could no longer continue and had to stop performing. It was initially assumed that the concert would continue after a short break, but the gathered fans were soon informed that the show had been canceled.
