The Irish rock bank U2 has cancelled a concert in Berlin after singer Bono lost his voice during the performance.
The band said on its website late on Saturday that, "Bono was in great form and great voice prior to the show ... but after a few songs he suffered a complete loss of voice."
U2 said "we don't know what has happened and we are taking medical advice."
The power of #bono voice before it surprised him in #Berlin and left him abruptly...he was singing his guts out (per usual). @u2 @U2eiTour The crowd so felt for him as he with surrender was obviously powerless and vulnerable. He’s real and he’s human, too, like we all are. pic.twitter.com/f0Tl3hhuA2
