Bono Replaced By Bruce Springsteen And Chris Martin After Bike Crash

Bruce Springsteen and Chris Martin stepped in to replace Bono at a Times Square World AIDS Day concert Monday night. The U2 lead singer was injured in a bicycle crash in Nov., which has forced the band to cancel several shows.

U2 was set to play a concert in support of World AIDS Day in Times Square, but Bono was injured in a Central Park bike crash last month, which has led the band to cancel several shows, including a weeklong residency on The Tonight Show and left the band scrambling to find a replacement singer for Monday's show.


On Monday, U2 posted to their Facebook page that Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay's Chris Martin would replace the singer during the show.
