U2 has postponed the first date of its world tour because of a back injury suffered by singer Bono.

The June 3 concert scheduled in Salt Lake City was the continental kick-off for this leg of the band’s U2 360 tour.
But future cancellations or postponements remain a possibility, depending on Bono’s recovery.
