Nick O'Malley, the bassist who will stand in for Andy Nicholson for the Arctic Monkeys on their US & Canada Tour, has broken his hand.
The ex-Dodgems member was announced as a replacement last week after Nicholson pulled out of the upcoming dates due to exhaustion.
O'Malley's
former Dodgems’ bandmate Phil Goodwin explained: "As we walking home
form the pub, our roadie grabbed him and pulled him over our
neighbour's wall.
"It's quite high and he landed on his right
hand. It is his plectrum, hand and he has a pot on it - but he says he
can still hold a plectrum."
The North American tour kicked off in Vancouver on Saturday night.
