The hearing in his left ear is ruined; he has a dislocated vertebra in his neck and nerve damage in his hands. He said: "I think of it like Air Miles - it's all part of the job. I'm not worried about not being able to play the drums again, I'm more worried about being able to cut a loaf of bread safely or building things for my kids. My doctors tell me it's a work in progress, that it'll take about a year for me to recover. They're not strong enough to play the drums. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that again."
