GRAVITY KILLS Keyboardist Injures Hand, Group Cancels Dates

May 9, 2002

GRAVITY KILLS suffered a minor setback last weekend as keyboard player Doug Firley sustained serious injury to his hand in Allentown, Pennsylvania while performing in front of a sold-out crowd. The injury occurred when Firley dropped the custom-made, springloaded keyboard on his hand during the band's single, "One Thing". GRAVITY KILLS were touring to support their Sanctuary Records debut Superstarved.

The band immediately returned home to St. Louis for Doug to seek treatment, thus ending the current cycle of tour dates.
