In Sickness and In Health

Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos collapsed backstage at the Sziget festival in Hungary this weekend, after suffering an allergic reaction. Kapranos was treated for what Cribs frontman Ryan Jarman described as "a peanut incident".

Having already cancelled festival dates in Belgium and Japan, Beady Eye have announced that they have cancelled their planned performance at this year's V Festival, as guitarist Gem Archer continues to recover from a serious head injury sustained earlier this month.

And Frank Sampedro, guitarist in Neil Young's band Crazy Horse, has broken his hand, meaning Young and Crazy Horse won't play any of the British/European live dates they'd planned to play this month, the last of which was a show at London's O2 Arena on  the 19th August.
