EAST LANSING - Fans awaiting the U2 concert on June 30 at Spartan Stadium shouldn't worry just yet, despite a back injury plaguing the group's lead singer.
MSU officials and concert organizers said Friday the Irish rockers still plan to stop in East Lansing.
U2 frontman Bono underwent emergency back surgery Friday in Munich, Germany. He was injured while rehearsing for the band's worldwide 360° 2010 tour.
The tour's June 3 kickoff in Salt Lake City was postponed. It's unclear if other shows, including the stop in East Lansing, could be affected, a representative from concert promoter Live Nation said Friday.
Kent Cassella, a spokesman for MSU, said he hadn't heard of any problems with the June 30 concert date and it's too early to speculate if the show could be moved or canceled.
"Live Nation hasn't given us any indication there would be any other cancellations at this point," he said.
Jennifer Orlando, a recent MSU graduate, said she'll go to the East Lansing show regardless of a date change - should that occur as Bono recuperates.
"Bono is a huge part of U2 and if he's not 100 percent, the concert isn't 100 percent," she said.
