U2 was set to appear in "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" for the entire week, however, frontman Bono cancels the stint as he undergoes surgery after a recent biking accident.
"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" show has prepped audiences for the appearance of Irish rock band U2, as they have been scheduled to perform the whole week. However, frontman Bono's biking accident leads to the cancellation of their guesting in "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
According to the U2 official site, "It looks like we will have to do our Tonight Show residency another time-we're one man down. Bono has injured his arm in a cycling spill in Central Park and requires some surgery to repair it. We're sure he'll make a full recovery soon, so we'll be back! Much thanks to Jimmy Fallon and everyone at the show for their understanding."
In "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", Bono and the entire U2 band were set to appear on every episode. In preparation for this week-long U2 guesting, Jimmy Fallon has posted on his website a call for audiences to post videos of them lip-syncing to "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)". Jimmy Fallon and his production team at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" were planning to show these videos during the live performance of U2, alongside Bono singing.
"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" official site (NBC) sets the instruction as "take a short video yourself lip syncing along to U2's 'The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)' and upload it to YouTube with the title 'Tonight Show U2 Lip Sync'".
For audiences who have actually uploaded their videos, don't worry it won't go to waste. This setback clearly seems minor, as U2 expressed that they will perform in "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" "another time"-after Bono has fully recovered.
