KASABIAN DRUMMER BREAKS HAND
KASABIAN’s performance at Wednesday night’s (24Feb10) NME Awards was thro= wn into jeopardy when the band’s drummer broke his hand.
The rockers were preparing for their slot at the annual London event wh= en Ian Matthews fell and injured his arm.
Matthews was tended to by doctors, who discovered the star had broken h= is hand - so the group faced a last minute panic trying to land a replace= ment drummer.
Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno tells Britain’s Daily Mirror, "We had to get = our drum technician Loz in at the last minute. He doesn’t even know the s= ongs, we just told him to go for it." And that wasn’t the only disaster of the night - host Jarvis Cocker alm= ost missed rehearsals due to heavy traffic in London.
A source tells the publication, "The Queen was opening a Tube stop in A= ldgate and Jarvis got stuck in traffic. He was fuming by the time he got = here and rehearsals ran to the wire."
