"It&amp;apos;s a beautiful day for U2 fans!\r\nThe band&amp;apos;s 360 North American tour -- which was postponed in May because of lead singer Bono&amp;apos;s emergency back surgery -- has been rescheduled for 2011, kicking off May 21 in Denver.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play. Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us,&amp;quot; U2 manager Paul McGuinness tells UsMagazine.com in a statement. &amp;quot;They&amp;apos;re the best, and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience.&amp;quot;\r\nTwo months ago, Bono, 50, underwent emergency back surgery in Munich and was put on an eight-week rehabilitation program.\r\nWATCH: U2 announce return to the States in homemade video\r\n&amp;quot;The surgery was the only course of treatment for full recovery and to avoid further paralysis. Bono is now much better, with complete recovery of his motor deficit,&amp;quot; Bono&amp;apos;s surgeon, Professor Tonn, said in May. &amp;quot;The prognosis is excellent, but to obtain a sustainable result he must now enter a period of rehabilitation.&amp;quot;Prior to his surgery, the rock vet told Us he was looking forward to hitting the road -- even if that meant leaving his wife home with the kids.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;My wife is gorgeous,&amp;quot; Bono told Us. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m going to miss her on the road!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
