Das erste Konzert am Freitag Abend lief noch gut. Doch die Fans der irischen Superstars, die am 1. September nach Berlin pilgerten, wurden herbe enttäuscht: U2 brach das Konzert ab, weil Bono die Stimme mehrfach versagte. Nach einer außerplanmässigen Pause kam die Band nicht mehr auf die Bühne zurück. U2 kündigte ein Ersatz-Termin an.
Auf Ihrer Homepage schrieben Adam, Larry und Edge von U2 zunächst: "We're so sorry for tonight's cancellation. Bono was in great form and great voice prior to the show and we were all looking forward to the second night in Berlin, but after a few songs, he suffered a complete loss of voice. We don't know what has happened and we're taking medical advice. As always, we appreciate our audience's understanding and all our fans' support in Berlin and those who travelled from afar. We will update you very soon."
Bono selbst stellte nun aktuell eine Konzertwiederholung in Aussicht. Ebenfalls auf der Homepage von U2 ist zu lesen. "I've seen a great doctor and with his care I’ll be back to full voice for the rest of the tour. So happy and relieved that anything serious has been ruled out. My relief is tempered by the knowledge that the Berlin audience were so inconvenienced. There was an amazing atmosphere in the house, it was going to be one of those unforgettable nights but not for this reason… We can’t wait to get back there on November 13th." - Bono
