Manic Street Preachers member has spasm on stage

Thu, 28 May 2009 12:00:01 +1000

Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers had one word to say on stage ... OUCH.

Nicky Wire suffered a back spasm on stage during a gig in his home country.

The bassist was halfway through a gig at the Llandudno Venue Cymru Arena in Wales last night when his back went.

But although his movement was impaired, the trio managed to carry on with the gig in order not to disappoint fans.

The band managed to continue with the gig, although the bassist's movement was impaired.

Wire posted a message on the band's official website today to assure fans that while they would still be continuing the tour, he might not be quite as energetic on stage as a result of his spasm.

He wrote: "I would just like to apologise for the gig last night in Llandudno. I am trying to nurse a prolapsed disc through the tour and last night it went into spasm on stage.

"This made it virtually impossible for me to move, let alone jump. I desperately want to carry on the tour but it will mean a combination of standing still, sitting down on stage, back braces and painkillers.

"As you know standing still is utterly alien to me on stage I don’t want any sympathy but hopefully this will explain my lack of movement and general mood. Thank you for your understanding."
