Jim James Fell off Stage

[poto101]

I just got a text from my friend at the Iowa City show right now, apparently Jim James fell off stage and they had to go to intermission and now they might cnacel the show.

I'll let ya guys know if i hear any updates.

[SmokinShootin]

holy crap, yeah anyone let us know.  I don't know if I believe this!

[ultravisitor]

Damn.  Right before I'm supposed to see him three nights in a row.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

They canceled the show, heard from a friend.  Don't know what's wrong, fell off the stage after Off The Record.  

Fuck me, hope he's ok.  Got tix for both Chicago gigs

[Salacious D]

If any one can rock out in a neck brace, it's Jim James.

I hope he's ok. I really really do.

[JacketGal]

I hope he's OK! Sending some good vibes out to Iowa! I saw him fall on stage once and he got right back up! He's a tough bear!

[elzar]

[the_wizzard]

Sending healing energy your way, Jim.

He probably slipped  on a glow stick.

We were at the concert.  He had just finished Off The Record and was on the front left part of the stage by the speakers, the lights went out and he fell off the stage.  We heard a couple crew guys ran up and dragged him to the back.  They stopped the concert and went to assess what was wrong with him and then after about 15 minutes the rest of the band came out to say that they were taking Jim to the hospital and they were cancelling the show. No idea what the exact injury was.  Damn, hope he's ok, hope they come back to Iowa City, they were sounding great!

~ Yep. Happened about 45 min's in. Canceled the show 10 min's. later. The band came out, apologized, but no word on refunds.
  James slipped and fell into the speakers just below stage level--doing one of the signature guitar moves ending a song during "Off the Record". Was immediately carted to UI Hospitals. "On the Stretcher" immediately came to mind.
 Sorry, guys.  :'(

I was (unfortunately) thinking the same thing. . .

Got a few calls from IC as well.

Conflicting reports.....security guy said he was pissed about something and just bailed on the set.

That he did not fall off the stage and that he just had a meltdown.

???

That can't be true because the band said they were taking him to the hospital, right?

[bakerfall]

That is not true, I had friends there that saw him fall.

[hawkeyes732]
