Find pain here: pictures of British Sea Power man's horror fall

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…

 

First three photographs by Kevin Benson; last one by Cath Aubergine
