The Cribs drummer Ross Jarman has gone under the surgeon’s knife to cure a long-standing back injury.
The operation was undertaken in order to correct a herniated disc which Jarman suffered a few years ago while loading equipment prior to a Cribs gig.
“Surgery was the only option but due to our busy touring schedule there never seemed to be a good time to do it, so it kept getting put off and put off again,” explained brother Ryan Jarman on Facebook.
“Things kept getting worse however to the point where even just sitting on a plane became a grueling ordeal, so the decision was made to have the operation after festival season finished this year.”
“It was a pretty gnarly procedure, involving the spinal cord actually being moved, and what follows now is six weeks of rest and rehabilitation, but then we will be back to work on album number five.”
The Cribs’ new album will be their first since reverting back to a three-piece line-up following the departure of Johnny Marr earlier this year.
