Gary Lightbody Breaks Jaw

The decision was forced on the band following the news that lead singer Gary Lightbody had broken his jaw. So far no information has been released on how the break happened – though it is clear that singing is not an option when your jaw is – even metaphorically speaking – in a sling.

The Meteor Ireland Music awards take place at the RDS in Dublin on February 19. Among the acts who will play on the night are Westlife, Florence And The Machine, Bell X1, Pixie Lott, Paulo Nutini, The Coronas and The Script.
