Black Keys' Patrick Carney injured ahead of UK tour

The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney has been hospitalised following dislocating his shoulder in the sea in Saint Barths.

According to arch ambulance chasers TMZ: "Patrick was rushed to an ER and put under with anesthesia so doctors could reset his shoulder. The drummer is out of the hospital and recovering ... but we're told he's still in a whole lot of pain."

Despite this Carney himself seems to be in good humour, posting to his own Instagram "Tune into my new lifetime movie. "Dislocated shoulder" airing right now."

No statement has been made yet on whether this injury will affect the Black Keys European tour. Assuming that this is a temporary setback, the Black Keys are still set to tour the UK next month. Buy seats safely and securely with Seatwave.
