Bono's heart 'absolutely fine'

Following the publication of reports of him being rushed to hospital for emergency treatment last month, the band's spokesman denied rumours of a health scare. 'Bono is in good health and enjoying a family holiday in the south of France', reads the statement published on U2's website on August 21. 'The sighting of Bono ‬at Princess Grace Hospital was due to a routine check up.'

However, fans and media were not convinced until Bono spoke to a Mirror reporter at the GQ Awards on September 6. When quoted by the newspaper, Bono said: “I’m fine, healthy and fighting fit. There’s no getting rid of me just yet!”

We're glad to hear that, Bono!
