Cribs Frontmen Hospitalized, North American Dates Confirmed
Though the brotherly Brits of the Cribs stopped by backstage at Lollapalooza to discuss 1977, the year punk exploded,the Jarmans simply can’t stop paying their respects to the musicalforefathers of punk. The latest offerings: a few physical sacraments.First, at a show in Birmingham vocalist/guitarist Ryan Jarman hurledhimself into the crowd, was subsequently stripped by the audience, andimmediately following his rescue by bouncers, passed out. Ryan wasrevived by doctors, and diagnosed with severe fatigue and dehydration.
Ona more serious note, bassist/vocalist/twin-brother Gary Jarman wasadmitted to the hospital just two days later, following days ofcomplaining of “pains in his arms,” a band spokesperson confirms. Thesource of the problem was discovered as blood poisoning likely thanksto scratches suffered from the brash strings of his guitar. What aboutyoungest Jarman, Ross? Well, a statement confirms the drummer “is greatand isn’t particularly bothered by anything.” Ok, then.
Nowthat all Jarmans are ail-free — thanks antibiotics! — the Cribs aregearing up for a North American trek, set roll out in Montreal Nov. 12and hit cities like Boston, Cleveland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. If theJarmans’ wounds are any evidence, the Cribs’ live show is one not to bemissed.
