Split vocalist in coma after guitar-thrashing

We are sorry to report the following -

On the 3rd of February, Split looked like they'd have just another show. Some moshing, some drinking. However, what happened into the 7th song of the set was easily the band's darkest moment. While playing the breakdown of Build (Higher), a blues-based riffer that pretty much builds on itself, the rhythm guitarist Melroy D'Mello was thrashing wildly to the music. A very inebriated Garreth D'Mello turned around and walked straight into the guitar-head. Eye witnesses claim that they heard his jaw clamp shut with the impact 40 feet away.

The vocalist crumpled and fell to the side of the stage and the show was called off immediately.

We'll keep updating on Gary's health on www.myspace.com/splitsplit


Digg!
