Russell Lissack had to be taken to hospital during a trip to South Africa...

Spinner is reporting that it happened while Lissack was playing with a lion cub at an animal sanctuary when it attacked him.

He was in South Africa with Ash to play gigs in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The animal reportedly drew blood and left a nasty wound.

The band releases the second of its two compilation CDs on October 11.
