David Collins
David ‘Dixie; Collins must be kicking himself after accidentally shooting off his big toe while cleaning out his shotgun at the weekend!
Doctors have advised the Weedeater vocalist/bassist he is to be bedridden for the next few weeks during his recovery.
The rocker confirms, "It wasn't my intention to shoot off my big toe. This really f**king sucks and the pain is unbearable."
The band's recording sessions have been postponed while Collins' foot heals. But his bandmates are laughing off the mishap even though Collins is missing a significant digit.
A MySpace post from the band reads: "As most of you know, here in the Weedeater camp we pride ourselves on a long tradition of shooting our band in the proverbial foot right before we're supposed to do something important. Whether it's a big tour, a recording session, or whatever else we're supposed to do, invariably we will find some way to try and thwart our grandiose plans.
"Well, it's no different for this recording session, except that this time we really did shoot ourselves in the foot. In fact we regret to inform all of you that this weekend, Dixie Dave shot his big toe off whilst cleaning his favourite shotgun. Yup, that's right."
