You may’ve read about the concerning case of Phil Sumner here on Drowned in Sound yesterday, the British Sea Power cornet player taking a death-defying tumble from a 12ft speaker stack, resulting in chin===>floor interface, oblivion, blood pools, ambulances and, thankfully, the expectation of a full recovery.
Still – can’t hurt to have a look at the photographs. Not too much, anyway. Pain, sympathy, below…
In happier times...
Looking wobbly...
Ominous...
Salutations, Sumner. Get well…
