Deadmau5 claims wearing his mouse helmet has caused a “spinal injury”

The DJ and producer first started using the iconic helmet in 2008

Deadmau5 has jokingly said that his iconic mouse helmet may have caused a spinal injury.

The DJ and producer first started using what is known as the mau5head in 2008 during his set at Nova Scotia.

Yesterday (December 7), he shared an x-ray image of his spine on Instagram captioning the post: “’Wear a mouse head’ they said. ‘It’ll be fun!’ They said.”

But the DJ, whose real name is Joel Zimmerman, later clarified his injury in another post saying: “My neck is messed up from probably sleeping like an idiot, or slouching behind a computer. I doubt wearing a mouse head has much to do with it. I just posted a lolsy quote with it. My neck is fine ish, I just need to straighten my shit up. it’s all good. Just sore.”

Deadmau5 recently performed at Creamfields South alongside headliners David Guetta and Calvin Harris, Fatboy Slim, CamelPhatBecky Hill, Amelie Lens, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones and Charlotte De Witte.

Meanwhile, Swedish House Mafia have since announced they will be headlining Creamfields North for its 2023 edition.
