Fake-or-Fact Friday: Killing Bono Edition

December 26, 2014

Bono has had a rough 2014. Fortunately for him, one of these three things didn’t happen. We made it up. See if you can guess which fate the U2 singer was spared. (Answer at the end of the post.)

A.

Bono became very injured after a bike accident earlier this year. The U2 lead singer and humanitarian had to cancel a planned one-week residency on The Tonight Show because he took a “spill” while biking in Central Park. It was a bit more severe than that. Trying to avoid another rider, he crashed, and was rushed to a hospital, where he endured five hours of surgery to treat a facial fracture around his eye, three fractures on his shoulder blade, and a fracture of his funny bone.

B.

Recovering from the surgery at his farm in upstate New York, Bono was eating a sandwich in his kitchen and he began to choke. Completely alone, he didn’t know what to do. Fearing he would pass out, or worse, he rammed himself into a door, trying to dislodge the blockage in his windpipe. It worked…on the third attempt, when the doorknob knocked him right in the chest.

C.

While flying on a short trip from Dublin to Berlin to attend a music awards show, a door completely ripped off and fell off the plane…mid-flight. (And the tailgate at the end of the plane started to come off, too.) The pilot safely guided the plane to the Berlin airport, with nobody getting sucked out along the way, although it did claim Bono’s luggage.
