U2 frontman Bono's recent back injury has cost his insurance company £11million, according to a report.

Brokers Robertson Taylor are expected to settle the bill after Bono injured his back during rehearsals, reports The Sun.

The star was forced to undergo emergency surgery in May, prompting U2 to postpone their North American tour and cancel their appearance at Glastonbury.

Bono said recently that the injury had been “quite serious”, but that he was on the road to recovery.

As previously reported, U2 have rescheduled their postponed US dates for next spring and summer.
