The Word Alive’s Telle Smith Breaks Back And Rib At California Show

During their performance in Pomona, California, The Word Alive’s Telle Smith stage dove and severely injured himself by breaking a rib, fracturing another rib and breaking a bone in his spine. I think I tied the record for worst show injury… 1 broken rib, 1 fractured rib and a broken back. Went a little TOO big in Pomona! #fml — Telle Smith (@TelleTWA) November 19, 2015 I have a brace to help me finish out the last shows we have. But I won't be going crazy so you'll have to do that for me. RIP stage dives… — Telle Smith[Read More…]
