Ryan Adams Breaks Arm in Fall From Stage
American singer-songwriter Ryan Adams broke his wrist in a fall from the stage during a gig in Liverpool, his publicist said Friday.
Adams, 29, plunged from the stage during a concert at Liverpool's Royal Court Theater on Thursday. Fans said Adams struggled to continue the show before retiring, clutching his arm.
A spokesman for the Royal Liverpool University Hospital confirmed Adams had been treated for a fracture to his arm.
The office of publicist Richard Wootton said Adams was to be examined by a specialist in London on Friday. The publicist said it was too early to say whether the rest of the tour would be canceled.
The former singer with North Carolina alt-country group Whiskeytown, Adams gained rave reviews for his 2002 album "Gold," which spawned the Grammy-nominated single "New York, New York." He has since gained a reputation for prolific recording and prodigious rock'n'roll partying.
He began a British tour Jan. 17 in support of his latest album, "Rock'n'Roll," and two recently released EPs.
