Joe Seaward is recovering from a broken leg and fractured skull

Glass Animals’ drummer Joe Seaward is recovering from a broken leg and fractured skull after being hit by a truck while cycling in Dublin, the BBC reports. The Oxford band have canceled their European and North American dates while Seaward recovers from surgery. “The operation was successful, but the collapsed skull bruised and damaged the area of the brain responsible for speech,” band frontman Dave Bayley wrote on Facebook. “Initially joe was only able to get out one word...’I’...but each day he is finding more.”

Bayley continued, “He can still wiggle his fingers and twinkle his toes, and he still laughs at all my shit jokes, and demands we wake him up so he can watch the world cup while we feed him ice cream and grapes. It wasn’t safe for him to go directly into his leg surgery after his brain op, but a couple days ago he was given the go-ahead by the consultants. He now has a titanium pin holding two halves of his femur together....basically he is now wolverine.”
