A rock tragedy

Rocker broke back 'finding loo'

Supergrass bassist Mick Quinn was trying to find a toilet when he broke his back in a freak accident last year, he has revealed.

The musician sleepwalked out of a first floor window of a villa where he was staying in the South of France.

Quinn told ITV Teletext: "The first I knew I was in trouble was when I was in mid-air."

The 38-year-old suffered two broken vertebrae in the fall, and the band were forced to put their plans on hold.

The full story is here

[I just love that he told his story to ITV Teletext - rock and roll.]

Current Supergrass single (are they still called that) is a return to form away from the melodic 70s pomp rock nonsense they had been pedalling recently. So clearly they are Back for good....or has that already been done?

And another thing its a bit of a seedy promo photo.....beards, hats, slicked back hair.....also what are they trying to avoid or are their heads to heavy to hold straight?
