InMe Band Members injured in car crash

• 17th Sep 2009

Ben and Simon from InMe were involved in a car crash on Tuesday 15th September and had to cancel their Derby date last night. Ben has fractured his wrist and unfortunately will not be able to play the rest of the tour whilst Simon has injured his ribs and has been told that he has to rest them for day before he can play the drums again. The band will now start their tour in Newcastle on 17th September.

Greg Macpherson released the following statement from the band.

FIRSTLY… WE ARE ALL ALIVE. Unfortunately, due to a bad crash caused by a clumsy fool, Ben has broken his wrist. Simon isn't too pretty either. The result of this is that tomorrow's Derby show will be rescheduled, apologies to all, please get the word round to any of your mates that were going… and regrettably Ben is in no shape to play any of the tour dates, as a result we will be going old skool as a 3 piece. Massive sympathies for Ben, he is truly gutted. And his car is destroyed. Ben has a cast on and has a check up in 1 week, but we are talking at least 4 weeks until he can play again. Simon is in bad shape after quite a nasty injury but given a full days rest should be back to health. The first date of the tour is now in 2 days at Newcastle and we'll go balls out as I think we all need to let off some steam on the stage. We are all gutted that Ben is not with us for the tour but promise to smash it every night for him, he will be back in action by November. The main thing is that everyone is alive, Herald Moth is doing very well, the remaining 3 of us are looking forward to Newcastle, Ben will be at London and Brighton so you can all kiss his arm better!
