He didn’t break it. He dislocated it during a concert at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC on September 20, 1987. The accident happened when Bono slipped on the wet stage during “Exit.”He was taken to a hospital immediately after the show and ended up performing with his arm in a sling for the next 12 concerts — though he ignored doctor’ orders by playing guitar on several occasions when he wasn’t supposed to!
