I thought that was a joke riffing on the name of the festival and bizarre sexual practices but I see you've retweeted someone saying he actually has broken himself but carried on to perform the gig! Hope this doesn't put Hogmanay in jeopardy... __________________ Tell mester to fck off!*

Hope this doesn't put Hogmanay in jeopardy... Broken ribs can heal in 3-6 weeks - it should certainly be better by Hogmanay, and he performed today no problem (although he stepped rather gingerly off the speaker rather than leap off it at the end of Babies). It was a shorter-than-average setlist (no Pink Glove, Like a Friend, Underwear, Mis-Shapes - they played Joyriders though) - presumably due to time constraints rather than injury - let's hope so anyway. As long as he's not in particularly discomfort and he rests well and has a good Christmas, we should be good to go for a riotous end-of-year-party! Rest well Jarvis (and indeed Mark, Candida and Nick, and Andrew and Emma and Adam and the whole gang) __________________ It's OK. It's just your mind.

In typical JC style, he showed the x-ray on the big screens! Edit - I thought he said brusied ribs but they're fractured, which means broken... sounds painful, but hopefully manageable. Must have been on painkillers to get through the show. Luckily that's their last one for a few weeks. Fingers crossed for Scotland. He eats his vegetabls and does pilates twice a week, right? https://twitter.com/DILFBAlT/status/1730991695783686153 -- Edited by Eamonn on Saturday 2nd of December 2023 05:54:49 PM __________________ Tell mester to fck off!*

When I broke my ribs it was no exercise for two months as the rib might pierce the lung(TMI, sorry) so fingers crossed he can heal up! -- Edited by Violin Thing on Saturday 2nd of December 2023 07:31:44 PM __________________

He might need to roll-out that wheelchair, last seen when "faking it" after recovering from his last fall in 1985! Seriously though, falling down a stairs and getting injured must give you a bit of a shock as well as the physical bruising. And it was how poor Tim McCall passed away too, wasn't it, triggering the first Pulp reunion. __________________ Tell mester to fck off!*
