Ricky Wilson, lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs, can’t seem to go more than a few weeks without getting wounded in some fashion or other.
* In March 2005, he hurt his ankle.
* In August 2005, he hurt his ankle again.
* In October 2005, he collapsed in mid-show.
And since he can’t help but keep topping himself, now he’s gone and gotten himself hit by a car.
On the band’s website, it was announced that “Ricky was hit by a car whilst walking across a pedestrian crossing in Leeds town centre mid evening on Sunday. He’s the luckiest man alive, because he is still alive, it sounds daft, but a ‘Ricky trademark jump’ has probably saved his life. The jump meant he was flipped over the top of the car, hitting the windscreen, rather than getting trapped under it. He was crossing on a green pedestrian light. Whether it was a joyrider, wreckless driving or drunk driving we still don’t know. Police are investigating – we’d like to thank the witnesses that have come forward so far. Ricky has escaped with minor injuries, a broken toe and bruising.”
All I know is, if they don’t find the guy who did this, well, I predict…
Nah, I can’t do it, it’s too easy.
