Babyshambles bassist injured in car crash
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 11 July 2011
Babyshambler Drew McConnell is recovering in hospital after being injured in a car crash last week, according to the band’s manager.
Specifics of the accident aren’t clear, though manager Adrian Hunter passed on a message from McConnell which seems to imply he suffered some pretty serious injuries. The message read: “I have surgery on my spine today and the next day on my knee. Plates, rods and screws going in both spine and knee. They ain’t told me what they plan for my shoulder blade and broken ribs yet”.
Hunter added that the bassist was “comfortable if a little pained. He had a nasty couple of bumps but his sense of humour is still intact though”.
