Rock'n'roll injuries
 |
Franz Ferdinand guitarist Nick McCarthy bust his foot recently, midway through the band's US tour. The poor axesmith has taken to playing sitting down, which rather spoils his and singer Alex Kapranos's dance routines.
The rock'n'roll injury isn't all that rare - hardly surprising when you consider the feckless lives our musical heroes lead - so here we remember some of the more dramatic pratfalls, whether onstage or off. Click below for the full accident book.

That slipknot list is a joke! I think that you should only be allowed accidental injuries most of those are self inflicted. As for that Shawn dude, he ought to be given tranqs or something to calm himself down before he kills himself.

Paul young opening his act by leaping for his firemans pole and missing. The audience got to see him plummet for twenty five feet and break his leg. That was a wrap!

No mention of David Lee Roth badly concussing himself when he leaped up as a lighting rig came down?
Or Pete Townsend making himself permanently hearing impaired when one of his infamous sound rig "explosions" went off prematurely?
