Worst luck ever for a guitar player -- Johnny Marr announced he broke his hand last week while out for a run in London. From Marr's official site:
"I was running pretty fast and just went straight over. I banged my shoulder and then realised my hand was in a bad way. Obviously we're hoping there's no long term damage. The plan is to do the Leeds Brudenell shows on the 24th and 25th of March and then the dates I have in South America as long as I can play the guitar when the plaster comes off. Usually that would be after six weeks but I’m hoping it will be ok, it’s a bit up in the air at this point. I may have to start drinking heavily."
Marr posted photographic proof of his injury -- check out his cast here.
Marr announced recently that his new album, the follow up to 2013's The Messenger, will be out in late September/early October.
