Mike Skinner Hurt In "Moses" Crowdsurfing Incident

added 29 January 2009 at 10.04

Mike Skinner of The Streets was hurt during a show on Tuesday (January 27) after trying to crowdsurf. After leaping into the audience at the Cambridge Corn Exchange for some "Moses-based activity", the frontman found himself being punched, scratched and tugged at - so violently, in fact, that an old hernia scar opened up.

"It seems the era of the Moses is over," Skinner said in a post on his MySpace blog. "I have been ordered by a local paramedic that I need to give my arms a chance to recover. It's great fun at the time but kills like fuck after. Really. Pain like I have never experienced. So tonight I was in such a state that the St John Ambulance insisted on calling the paramedics... who gave me the never go full retard works. ECG, blood pressure and look into my eyes blood sugar unconsciousness routine.

"Seriously never known pain like it and I broke both my arms when I was younger, hardly noticing it. Some kind of tendonitis, cramping and general bodily bashing. AAAAGGHH."

The Streets continue their tour at London's Brixton Academy tonight (January 29). Play nice, now.
