Arctic Monkey Bassist Breaks Hand

Nick O'Malley, who is the stand-in bass player with Arctic Monkeys has broken his hand.
O'Malley only recently joined the band, after original bassist Andy Nicholson pulled out of the Sheffield youngster's North America tour due to fatigue.
The new bassist has apparently been playing with a broken wrist, that came about two weeks ago after a night-out with his former band The Dodgems.
However, the broken bone has not affected his position, with O'Malley performing perfectly fine on the current tour.
According to Phil Goodwin of The Dodgems, on the drunken night-out one of their roadies pulled O'Malley over a neighbour's garden wall resulting in him landing on and breaking his playing hand.
