VELVET REVOLVER Frontman Sprains Ankle; Show Must Go On - July 2, 2005?
 
According to a posting on Duff McKagan's Raw Power official fan club web site http://www.rated-art.com/rawpower/news.php , bassist Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) has checked in from Europe with the following update:

"Last night in Denmark [at Roskilde festival] we had one of the best shows of this tour...amazing. Unfortunately, Scott [Weiland, vocals] sprained his ankle VERY bad (we thought it was broken) during the last note of the last song ('Slither'). Scott, being the trooper that he is, will play [Friday night, July 1] in Brussels and Saturday [July 2] at Live 8.

"What a bummer. We've been touring for 14-15 months and we are finally going to get a break and Scott will be bed-ridden for at least a couple of weeks.

"Please send good thoughts Scott's way!"

Suck it up Scotty.  Its not like the injury will screw up his dance moves, he already looks like he's got some serious leg injuries with his dancing.
