Whenever Babyshambles makes a record, trouble seems to follow. With the last album, a hidden camera caught Kate Moss’ infamous coke snorting, which precipitated her brief downfall and subsequent resurrection. Now, Drew McConnell, the band’s quite handsome bassist, has broken a bone in his back and writes about it on his blog:

“[O]n saturday i slipped and fell square on my ass running to catch a falling double bass. since then its [sic] been hurting more and more each day till this morning i woke in agony. so i got to the studio and asked Stephen if i could get an hour off to get it looked at. It turns out i have a hairline fracture at the base of my spine. so i’m not allowed to sit down for 2 weeks. Joy. They put this weird strappy brace thing on my lower back, & I have to keep icing it. So half of this album’s gonna be recorded with a fucking ice pack stuffed down the back of my jeans. Stop laughing.”

No one’s laughing on this end, but I have ask the obvious question – How’s he going to use the loo for the next fortnight?
