Babyshambles’ Drew McConnell has been injured in the studio where his band are recording their second album.
The bassist damaged a bone at the base of his spine during one session.
McConnell attempted to stop a double bass from toppling over and fell over in the process, reports The Sun.
“I have a hairline fracture at the base of my spine,” he explained - adding that he didn’t save the instrument either. “I’m not allowed to sit down for two weeks. Joy.”
As previously reported by NME.COM, the band are working in a west London studio with Blur and Kaiser Chiefs producer Stephen Street.
