RAGE Frontman Recovering From Bike Crash Injuries

May 12, 2005

RAGE frontman Peter "Peavey" Wagner has posted an update on his condition after he was hit by a car on last week while he was riding his bicycle. The driver of the car reportedly didn't give Peavy right of way, resulting in injuries to Peavy's arm.

Commented Peavy: "I'm back home now. They wanted to keep me longer in hospital, but I left on my own responsibility. The pain is OK now and I had enough of just lying there.

"I can only type with my left hand and it hurts a bit. My right elbow was fractured in my bike crash and in a two-hour operation the doctors manage to fix all the bone parts, it was a bit complicated and I have now more metal inside!! A few screws and stuff...

"My left arm is also injured, but I can use it a bit. I have to keep the broken arm in this big heavy splint for the next 6-8 weeks, I have rehabilitation and physiotherapeutics to get it back to moving. I hope I'll be fine again by July. We try to do the show in Italy on 4th of June, maybe I can play some rudimentary bass. Besides this I can only stay home now and rest to get better.

"I thank you all for your good wishes, this gives me a lot of energy I can use now!

"I'll be all right and play for you again!!"

RAGE recently signed a long-term deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The group's follow-up to 2003's "Soundchaser" is expected in late 2005/early 2006.
