James Blunt
A ha! I knew there was more to that James Blunt stage-diving story we reported the other week.
Well, I guess that was fairly obvious, considering all he actually said at the time was "I broke my little finger. I somehow managed to do it whilst I was jumping off stage during a gig in America". Now it turns out that the break was quite a bad one, and if the singer doesn't receive surgery soon he'll never be able to play the piano again. Unfortunately for him, his current touring (and partying) schedule doesn't allow for trips to the hospital. "I need it fixed. I need all my fingers to work properly. Not just for performing but for partying", he told The Sun.The singer was mobbed at the end of a gig in Asheville, North Carolina last month, causing the break: "I jumped off stage at the end of the gig and was chased by women, and even some men, in the crowd. I started running and the next thing I knew I had broken my finger. It was a funny moment being chased, but when I got back on stage it was nerve-racking looking down and realising the finger was pointing the wrong way. I need it to be right but the idea of having them take a hammer and smash my finger into two isn't so thrilling". Somehow, I think he may have misunderstood what the surgery entails. Or he's got a really bad doctor.
Blunt had some handy advice for any other musicians considering following him into the heady world of rock n roll mayhem: "Upon reflection, it was dumb to jump into the crowd but in a way it was my own fault. I had leather-soled shoes on and just slipped". So, remember kids, don't mess around when it comes to shoes.
