Guitarist Ol Drake of UK thrashers EVILE, who fractured his jaw on November 19 following the band's show in Rotterdam, Netherlands, has issued the following update:

"A few weeks on now and I'm slowly recovering. Lost some weight from the difficulty in eating, trying to get energy back as much as possible. The wound on my chin turned out to be infected, so got antibiotics on that. Went to the maxillofacial... thing at the hospital today (eventually got an appointment) and they've wired my jaw shut for two weeks. I was told this should have been done straight away (at A&E in Rotterdam) but it wasn't. It's apparently slightly too late for the wiring to work to full effect (?) but they've done it anyway. I look forward to more inability to consume food stuffs.

"Please send all two-week silence jokes to my MySpace page. I allow everyone to laugh and/or call me 'Jaws.'"

That was a funny day indeed.

is he still able to play guitar?

I don't think a wired jaw is going to affect his fingers...

haha imagine lying on the hospital bed with his giant bastard v, hed be the center of attention

Sabu broke his jaw during a match once and just taped it shut, Ol should have done the same. Lol jokes, all my prayers are with you Olly pop. xx

Ol Drake is dead? When?

That's what you get for playing in Rotheram.

This could be Rotheram, or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome.

Cause Rotheram is anywhere, anywhere at all.

Anywhere alone, you berk!
