Melbourne Punk Legend Hospitalised After Tram Incident

Melbourne punk identity Fred Negro was admitted to hospital on Good Friday after an incident involving a tram on Fitzroy St, St Kilda.

Running to catch a tram, Negro tripped and hit his head on a tram stop.

Once in hospital the iconic punk musician (I Spit On Your Gravy, The Fuck Fucks), and controversial cartoonist for Inpress, underwent facial reconstruction surgery and the ordeal has left him with steel plates in his head.

From his hospital bed Negro told theMusic.com.au, “I now look like Stewie Griffin.”

Despite the incident Negro has pledged to not cancel any shows and will play with the Blackmolls on Sundays at Lost and at the Prince on Mondays.
