Liars frontman Angus Andrew has suffered a bizarre back injury which has thrown their US tour into doubt.
The injury wasn’t from a heavy lifting job, instead Andrew bent down to retrieve a pillow from his couch which his back seized up and he fell in pain.
His other band members Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross are now flapping around Angus trying to get him prepared for the American jaunt which kick-starts in San Francisco on Thursday (January 25).
Things are looking ominous though, as speaking on their Myspace blog, the band claim that Angus can’t even feed himself at present.
The post reads:
“As Angus stooped to retrieve a tiny pillow from the couch in his LA home a seismic bolt tore through the fabric of his lower back rendering him immobile on the living room floor. When Jarrett arrived, Angus was face down in spasms. He alerted Aaron and Julian then sped to Rite-Aid for drugs and heat packs. When Julian arrived Angus was face down near the bathroom, apparently trying to urinate. Julian fetched a large soda cup and suggested the alternative. He then offered to stay the night and take on all nursing duties. Having fed the patient on the floor and set up his living space Angus became adamant Julian go home to bed. In the morning when Aaron arrived Angus was on his back on the floor of the living room. Aaron emptied the 2 large soda cups and they talked about Lorimer St in Brooklyn where the injury first occurred. Jarrett came in with breakfast and talk turned to tour. Its a week till our first show and Angus can't feed himself.”
Get well soon Angus!
