Basher Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 News Article Updated October 07. 2008 10:38PMMy Morning Jacket singer injured during UI showThe GazetteIOWA CITY — My Morning Jacket singer and guitarist Jim James was injured during the Southern-rock band's concert Tuesday night at the University of Iowa.James slipped and fell about 30 minutes into the band's set at the Recreation Building and was taken to a hospital. The remainder of the show was canceled. Officials with SCOPE, the UI's concert organization, would not say where James was taken and declined further comment.James apparently hit his head in the fall, which happened in the dark between songs. The extent of his injuries were not known.My Morning Jacket's four other members left the stage seconds after James fell. Drummer Patrick Hallahan returned to the stage several minutes later to say James fell and his injury was being assessed. About 10 minutes later, Hallahan and the rest of the band, minus James, took the stage to say the show was canceled."Jim was really hurt, he's heading to the hospital," Hallahan said. "We're really sorry, this has never happened before."At least one fan yelled "refund!" but the majority of the crowd cheered in a show of support for James.

Velvet Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 If I was at a show that was cancelled after 30 minutes I would probably be thinking "refund". But I'm Canadian so I certainly wouldn't yell it out.What a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 You'd think the band would almost feel obliged to schedule a make up date or something for those who still have their stubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Jim was released from the hospital a few hours ago. He injured his head on the fall, but it looks like he's going to be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I demanded a refund when the cops pulled the plug at the beginning of the second set at the Ranch Bowl, Omaha, 1999. Given that it was Omaha everyone just went home quietly. The manager of the venue refused to talk to me. And I then almost got arrested for asking a cop who ordered the plug pulling.
