Ryan Adams: The Anatomy of THAT Fall
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 29th, 2004
Blah blah rock star falls over and busts arm. Blah blah rock star can't play shows. Blah blah rock star SPEAKS...

"I heard the noise but I didn't feel the pain. The sound of my wrist breaking off my arm was really loud... I remember thinking 'OK, my neck is fine', then making sure my back was okay... then I looked at my arm and went 'Oh shit!

"Blood was coming out of my skin though my pores. That was when I almost fainted. Some people couldn't look at it."

All of Adams' European dates have been cancelled (in case you hadn't guessed). The singer has stated that he may lose up to 20% of the mobility in the injured wrist.
