Chief Stereophonic Kelly Jones is in hospital after injuring his arm in a fracas outside a London nightclub (and it was a pretty gruesome injury, if the picture in yesterday's Evening Standard is anything to go by).
The arm injuring incident took place outside Amika following Stereophonics' performance at the other night's Vodafone Live Music Awards. It seems there was some kind of altercation which led to Jones falling on some glass, which cut his arm. An official statement from the band issued yesterday explained: "Kelly and friends were leaving the club when he had an altercation with an over-zealous security guard. As a result of the ensuing fracas, Kelly badly injured his arm and is currently in hospital, where he has been since the early hours of this morning awaiting a consultation with a surgeon".
The tabloids, however, suggest Jones kind of brought it on himself, after going into the club's ladies toilets to find his girlfriend, and then refusing to budge when asked to leave after other female clubbers objected to him being there.
Either way, the injury means the band have had to pull out of performing on Channel 4's Transmission show this week.
