Howard Donald injury
Early performances of the tour featured a "dance-off" routine by band members in the middle of the song "Sure." Band member Howard Donald suffered a cracked rib and a collapsed lung during this part of the 26 October show in Vienna. His injuries caused him to miss seven shows and limited his performance in subsequent concerts. He rejoined the band at the 7 November Oberhausen show.
DVD release
The O2 shows on 6 and 7 December 2007, were recorded and released 25 February 2008, on a limited edition 2-disc DVD set, Beautiful World Live, containing behind-the-scenes footage. A Blu-ray version was also released in 2008.
