LouisvilleGreg Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Just heard on the radio here in Louisville that Jim James of My Morning Jacket fell off of the stage last night in Iowa and sustained a head injury. He was treated in a local hospital and released. It sounds as if both of the Chicago shows are cancelled. That's all I know and they're doesn't seem to be any details floating around on line yet.

Lammycat Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 First post says he was released from the hospital. Can't we assume he's o.k.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marino13 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 First post says he was released from the hospital. Can't we assume he's o.k.? I think there are two levels of okay people are worried about: 1. That his health is not in danger ----- this looks to be great news.2. That he is okay enough to go on with the Thurs/Fri night shows in Chicago ----- I hope he's ok!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
