Grandaddy's Jim Fairchild was hit by a tour bus in San Diego. But don't worry, Fairchild – who admits he was pissed at the time – isn't too hurt. He fell in front of the band's equipment bus and broke a number of bones in his shoulder as it went under the wheels. The injury meant he couldn't play the San Diego gig, but he was well enough for their Los Angeles' gig.
In a statement on official website grandaddylandscape.com the band say: "Here is a quick recap: the booze was flowing so the details are a bit blurry. Jim sort of did a little stumble fall down the steps and out of the door of the bus and on to the ground. Unlucky for him, the 18 wheeler that carries the production gear was on its way to San Diego. As it was leaving the parking lot the 17th or 18th wheel rolled over Jim's shoulder, breaking some little bones that I can't pronounce let alone spell. Jim was taken to the hospital, he is OK, he can play guitar, he just does it in a chair with a sling on his arm!"
