Cribs singer goes to hospital, twice

Cribs singer Ryan Jarman was taken to hospital twice after throwing himself onto the Kaiser Chiefs' table at the NME Awards, following a dispute over the Best Live Band award.

There was a bit of a kerfuffle at the NME Awards last week, apparently, when Cribs singer Ryan Jarman ended up taking a trip to hospital. Don't feel too sorry, as he's out of hospital now, and in any case, he kinda brought it all on himself.

The incident occurred when Peter Hook, presenting the Best Live Band award, noted that Franz Ferdinand weren't there to pick up the gong, and arbitrarily decided to hand the award to Kaiser Chiefs. Kaiser Chiefs said The Cribs should get it, and for reasons best known to himself, Jarman responded by throwing himself on to the Kaisers' table, landing on the glasses and bottles and causing himself some bodily harm. He went to hospital and had stitches before insisting on returning to the party to celebrate. But later, he was found bleeding and re-dispatched to hospital.

Someone who was there told NME.COM: "He threw himself onto the table, and it was apparent he needed treatement. He had stitches, and came back to continue the party. But after about ten minutes in the pub someone called an ambulance."
