Dublin -- Irish rocker Bono has been discharged from Munich's Ludwig Maximilians-University Hospital after undergoing emergency back surgery.

The news was announced on the Web site of Bono's rock band U2 Tuesday.
The musician had the operation last Friday and is now under doctor's orders to undergo rehabilitation for at least eight weeks.

"Bono suffered severe compression of the sciatic nerve," Dr. Muller Wohlfahrt said in a statement. "On review of his MRI scan, I realized there was a serious tear in the ligament and a herniated disc, and that conservative treatment would not suffice. I recommended Bono have emergency spine surgery with Professor (Joerg Christian) Tonn at Munich's LMU University Hospital on Friday."
