Singer songwriter Paul Steel has been forced to cancel the remaining dates of his UK tour after breaking his fifth metatarsal bone in his foot - an injury, as pretty much everyone has pointed out, more common among footballers than singers. But the injury did come about in action - he landed awkwardly on his foot while performing his song 'Raygun' at a gig at the Electric Ballroom in Camden. He battled through to the end of the gig (what a star) before been whisked to hospital where doctor's confirmed the broken foot bone.
Confirming the cancelled dates, Steel told reporters: "I'm really really sorry to everyone who bought tickets and anyone who wanted to go. The band and I are gutted we can't come and the play the tunes to you. We'll make sure the shows are rescheduled soon. I was quite up for roughing out, but it takes me about 5 minutes to get to my kitchen on crutches and it's exhausting. I don't think I could do the show any justice without being able to move about on-stage".
