Cribs singer hospitalised

The Cribs' Gary Jarman was hospitalised this weekend to be treated for blood poisoning. The singer was feeling ill before his gig at Sheffield University, but went ahead with the show anyway. It was only afterwards that someone pointed out that the marks on Jarman's arms could indicate the poisoning. Doctors confirmed that diagnosis, and quickly got him on antibiotics - it is thought he most likely contracted the poisoning after cutting himself on a bass string during a gig. Quite why the bass string was poisonous I'm not sure.
