Health and Safety Risks Taken by Musicians

Health and Safety Risks Taken by Musicians

A Jacko special:

Venturing too close to lighting rig wearing highly-flammable hair lacquer

Becoming addicted to prescription medication

Becoming addicted to cosmetic surgery

Poor decision-making when choosing close friends (thereby inviting 'interest' of LAPD)

Dangling baby over balcony

Committing to unfeasible number of arena dates

('God rest his soul', obviously...)

[Satchmo Distel]

High heels on stage, leading to back pain, leading to overuse of meds.

Anorexia, or behaviours leading up to it.

Is the keyboardist engulfed in flames in Snake's picture Flake from Rammstein? In which case, smashing into a bandmate on a Segway on stage and injuring him so badly you have to cancel the rest of your tour...

Drinking furniture polish.

Well, I would suspect that after years of being butt-fucked, flamethrowered and beaten up and dumped in an exploding bathtub, Flake might finally have snapped.

Jumping off amp stacks.

I tried - and failed - to find a video of John Otway doing this ...and landing on his back, wrapped in microphone cable. That's gotta hurt! Funny as hell, though!

Don't you mean the time he was performing live on the OGWT and tried to leap over an amp but squashed his bollocks on it by mistake?

Then there's every single time Gary Holton ever set foot on stage.
