Falling Down

According to their website (and about a dozen others), Travis' drummer, Neil Primrose, was relaxing with friends near a pool when he reportedly fell, struck his head and lay in the water unconscious. He was immediately taken to a hospital where they found he had fractured a vertebrae. Travis had to cancel several European gigs while they wait for Primrose to recover. On a lighter note, you can currently hear the Travis song "Sing" on the Mr. Deeds soundtrack and during the movie itself. SU wishes Neil a safe, speedy recovery. For full details...

The official statement from Travis' management:
"On Sunday July 7th, Travis concluded a week of European festival appearances with a performance at the Belfort festival in France. Whilst relaxing in the pool, Travis drummer Neil Primrose struck his head and was knocked unconscious. After realising his predicament, other band and crew members dragged Neil from the pool and gave him assistance. He was taken by ambulance to the local hospital in Belfort to receive treatment and to undergo tests. Early indications suggest that Neil has sustained a fracture on one of his vertebrae and is still in hospital in France undergoing further tests.In view of Neil's injury Travis must regrettably cancel their forthcoming live shows in Lucca, Italy (15th July), Rome (16th July), Les Vieilles Charrues Festival, Carhaix, Brittany, France (19th July) and Dublin Marlay Park (21st July). David Bowie will still be appearing in Lucca. Full refunds will be made available for tickets purchased for these shows except Carhaix which is a 3 day festival.We wish to apologise to all our fans for any inconvenience caused but hope you will join us in wishing Neil a full and speedy recovery."
