[UPDATE] Frenzal Rhomb Postpone Shows After Stage Accident

Just two days after Frenzal Rhomb drummer Gordy Forman broke his arm while attempting to stage dive during a performance, the Sydney-founded outfit have been confirmed to still perform a headline show in Newcastle later this month.

The punk-rock band were forced to finish off their set in Perth on Saturday night without Forman and while their next show at the Cambridge Hotel on 31 July will still go ahead, band management told theMusic that future plans are still up in the air.

“…we'll make an announcement on shows and other plans as soon as we know more about [Forman’s] condition.”

Meanwhile, Forman has remained in high spirits after the ordeal, taking to his Instagram to share a picture directly from his hospital bed where he is recovering.

Sticking his middle finger up to the camera, the drummer captioned the photo: "I have this curse where, right before recording, I end up breaking a bone or needing stitches. This may be my best one yet!"

Check out the fan-shot footage below to see how it all went down on Saturday night. 

UPDATE:

Frenzal Rhomb have postponed their upcoming shows around the country due to Forman's injury. Tickets for the previous shows will be valid with the new dates when they are announced. 

Taking to Facebook accompanied with a shot of the injured drummer the band updated their fans on the current situation.

"You've got to admit, we're pretty great at Irony. A dude in the crowd (at his 22nd Frenzal Rhomb show) tried to stage dive and he sucked. So Gordy, being the benevolent soul he is, got up from behind his drum kit to show the young gent how it's done. Unfortunately a combination of an enthusiastic crowd, a selfless drummer and an unforgiving crowd barrier meant that Gordy's humerus (yes, we know he's funny but what about his arm?) landed in two pieces. Snapped in half like an drumstick. The surgeons at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, under the expert tutelage of Drew Goddard from Karnivool, superglued the offending bone back together and wrapped it in packing tape. Should be good to go in a coupla months. Until then we might have to push back the Newcastle, Wollongong and Adelaide shows because Jason still hasn't worked out You Are Not My Friend on bass. This will also give us a bit more time to write a hit single for our upcoming album, or at least arrange to hire the dude from Def Leppard's drumkit."
