Black Wire Guitarist Hospitalised After Stage Invasion Print E-mail

ImageBlack Wire guitarist Si McCabe was injured onstage earlier this week, requiring hospital treatment.

The band were playing a gig at The Other Rooms in Newcastle on Tuesday April 11th when a stage invasion occurred which sent McCabe to the floor and onto chards of broken glass in front of the stage.

Speaking on the bands official site bassist Tom Greatorex told fans: "We would have loved to have finished the gig and played the rest of the songs, but it's made impossible when people get onstage. All si's back is cut open and our equipment trampled on."

Tom went on to say "It makes it increasingly unenjoyable to play shows. I don't wish to sound like a moaning bastard, but it starts to beg the question 'What's the point?'"

"Obviously we love people dancing and getting involved, but when that gets to the point of being forced off stage and un-able to carry on playing it's very frustraring and slightly pointless."

The band are currently on a tour of the UK, in support of the bands new single 'Hung Up', which is released next month.
