U2 singer Bono is back.

The band plays their first concert tonight in Turin Italy after back surgery sidelined him for two months.

"Things have gone very, very well," U2 manager Paul McGuinness said from Turin, after he had watched the band do a full dress rehearsal of the entire show on stage.

"We did a full run-through with no breaks, straight through the show, and Bono was moving very well," McGuinness said.

"He's fit."

In a surprise move Bono and the other band members went to fans who had been waiting outside after the dress rehearsals and brought them pizza.

Bono, 50, had to undergo emergency back surgery in May after injuring himself during a run through.

His injury forced the band to delay the tour's second North American leg. The 16-date trek was due to begin in Salt Lake City on June 3, but it has been postponed and will now kick off in Denver on May 21 of 2010.

The band has a seven-month break before Denver which has led to speculation that the tour will head to Australia and New Zealand for a number of shows.

Bono should grow his hair--way sexier!!!
"and will now kick off in Denver on May 21 of 2010"?! I know Bono is capable of many miraculous things but going back in time?
I am sure the Lord is not too happy with the pagan idol worship of Bono and U2, but the Son of Perdition is very happy with this!!! Oh, but I guess they are deserving of all this recognition and the BIG,BIG, wealth that goes along with this!!!!!!!!!!
A moment of time, a moment of... stop. A moment to recover... a moment to live some more. God give me more time, God be with me now. God be with you too.
GOOD STAY THERE...
I was looking foreward to my very first U2 show in Toronto in July and was upset for a moment then glad to hear that Bono was going to be ok. I can't wait until 2011. I am hoping to see a few shows.
Hope they have a great time and it goes well. No more back prob's Bono! Please grow your hair back! You look so much better. Don't like the buzz job. God bless to you all. Nicole
