Guns N Roses Bassist Injures Hand 2007-04-11 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 6 Comments | In an appparent act of solidarity with ex-Replacements bandmate Paul Westerberg, Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson dived down a flight of stairs last week, badly spraining his hand.
"I feel so bad right now,” explains bassist Tommy Stinson. “I accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. I put my hand down to break my fall and heard a loud ‘pop.' The next morning my hand looked like a balloon. I went to see my doctor and while the good news is that it’s not broken, the bad is news is it’s severely sprained and I may have done some ligament damage. We had our last rehearsal a few days ago and shipped the gear to Japan and then this happened. I feel horrible.
"I'd like to apologize to our Japanese fans that were looking forward to seeing us and know that we will we see you all soon. Again, we'd like to sincerely thank our fans worldwide for their patience and support."
The band will reschedule the two missed Japanese dates, and return to the stage for South Africa's MyCoke festivals later this month.
Meanwhile, Paul Westerberg could face up a year or more on the sidelines as he recovers from a serious nerve injury to his hand. He was attempting to remove wax from a candle with a screwdriver, but the instrument slipped and penetrated his hand.

Totally unrelated but.... why the fuck would someone want to remove wax from a candle with a screwdriver...?
And then drop it...? and it penetrated his hand?
If someone took a video of that, it could be an ad for the anti-drugs agency or something.

Due to the accident, the release date for Chinese Democracy has been moved to the year 2142.
