Supergrass have announced that they will not be able to play their planned 23 Sep gig at the Oxford Carling Academy because bass player and vocalist Mick Quinn is recovering from a rather horrible injury incurred during an accident while holidaying in the South Of France. Details of the accident itself have not been announced, but it resulted in Quinn suffering from two broken vertebrae and a smashed heal. Ouch.
Frontman Gaz Coombes commented on the incident, saying: "I hope the crazy fool gets back on his feet as soon as possible. I'm sure he'll pull through; he's a tough cookie".
Quinn is (thankfully) expected to make a full recovery from his injuries, though unsurprisingly he won't be back in action for some time yet.
