BONO LOSES HIS VOICE AT BERLIN GIG

-

The famous Irish band U2 had to cut short their Experience & Innocence 2018 tour concert in Berlin, Germany on Saturday as the band’s frontman Bono, under unforeseen circumstan­ces, lost his voice midway while singing. In a recently released statement, U2 expressed their apology for this sudden developmen­t, which led to the show being cancelled midway, reported E! Online. They further added that the singer’s voice was perfect before the show started. The 58-year-old singer lost his voice while singing Red Flag Day. He had only performed for only 20 minutes. It was at this instance that the band stopped playing any musical instrument­s.

Bono suspected that the stage smoke in the arena in Berlin affected his voice. After he requested the stage managers to increase the air conditioni­ng system, he tried performing to Beautiful Day, but then too he struggled like his last song.

Saddened by this fact, he said that he will find out as to what exactly happened, and exited the stage. After about 40 minutes, the show had to be cancelled.

It was the second time that the band had to cancel a show midway. The last time it happened was back in 1989 during their performanc­e in Amsterdam, Netherland­s.
