ATLANTA,Georgia, Dec 7 — The frontman of the critically acclaimed US indie rock band Deerhunter has been injured after being hit by a car.
Singer and guitarist Bradford Cox posted a picture of himself Thursday on Instagram from a hospital bed with a large brace covering his neck.
“Still waiting for X-ray results or any real diagnoses. Can’t move much. Incredible pain,” Cox wrote online.
Cox, 32, said that he was hit by a car and showed a picture of his father looking after him at the hospital in their home city of Atlanta.
The band has no upcoming concert dates after completing a tour to promote last year’s album Monomania and opening two arena shows earlier this year for the Arctic Monkeys.
Deerhunter has developed a following through six albums of noisy but ambient guitar-based rock, with Cox singing in a stream-of-consciousness style without writing down lyrics beforehand.
Cox has abnormally long legs due to Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder. — AFP
