Ahhh noooooooo!!!! He better be alright. I want to know exactly what happened. Maybe he will write a song about it. At least I already saw them this tour. :P I seriously hope him and the rest of the band recover and are well.

Apparently a broken arm. Car wrecks can be scary ... I was in one a few years ago and I still haven't completely gotten over it. Hope he's alright. Strange that Storm Corrosion was released today... ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

Car accident? You've got to be kidding me:
From Opeth's facebook page: Many have already learned that yesterday’s performances at The Myth In St Paul had to be cancelled due to Mikael having an accident. Right before stage time Mike bumped his head on the tour bus which resulted in a pretty deep cut that required urgent medical attention. Mike was taken to hospital which he left a little later with eight stitches and a nasty headache. He’s doing OK now and we expect him to be up and running (though slightly slower) again for tomorrow’s show and onwards. Mike & the band were very disappointed not being able to play yesterday but thank everyone for their understanding and for the tons of get-well-wishes Mike has received since. The band also thanks their friends in Mastodon for playing an extended set that hopefully kept all who attended happy. ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

| And here I was looking through the PA database trying to find this band "Accident" that Mike was going to play with :P I only opened this thread after not finding anything and getting bored at 2am. Well. I'm glad it wasn't worse than what it looks like, the stories really get wings on them fast :) |

When I first heard about the news my first reaction was to pick up the phone and call Mike. Ofcourse that was no use since it went straight to his voicemail... which provoked my reaction even more! 
Luckily I saw the message on Facebook which felt like a huge relief. I've sent him a text message and have now finally recieved an answed... so let's not even start with any "Paul is dead" type of rumors!  -------------
