Nicky Wire has promised fans he will continue with the current Manic Street Preachers tour despite going into spasm while on stage in Llandudno last night (May 26).

The Welsh band were play the town's Cymru Arena when Wire was hit by the spasm but managed to carry on the set.

He wrote on the bands official website: "I would just like to apologise for the gig last night in Llandudno," he wrote. "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."
