Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack has discussed his recent on-stage accident, where he shattered three ribs while attempting to jump down from a podium during the band’s Hollywood gig on June 18th. Speaking to AP Magazine about the incident, Biersack jokingly claimed: “I was trying to fly”.
The frontman clearly still has his humour intact, as he said: "I was trying to fly - and I have clearly not perfected that yet."
He continued: "I just felt so stupid. I’ve currently got three shattered ribs, most of which are sort of like bone shrapnel in my back area. If I move too often I run the risk of those pieces of bone shifting and stabbing me, and sort of causing internal bleeding—and there’s also one very near my lung, that could potentially collapse it."
When asked if he regrets his failed on-stage antics, Biersack replied: "The thing is, I know what I did was dumb, and now I have to pay the price — and unfortunately, that means missing the first week or so of [US] Warped [Tour], which is not good. But I can either lay here in misery and kinda hate everything, or I can understand what my plight is, take my medication and do what I can to heal."
