NOW, THAT'S DEDICATION TO SHOWBIZ

Hats off to Eddie Montgomery, 50% of Montgomery Gentry and a showbiz trooper. He was playing a date in Asheville when, three songs in, he let a monitor take his weight. Only it didn't, and it gave way. He fell to the ground, snapped his wrist - and carried on with the show. His partner Troy Gentry could tell something was up:

''I knew it was a serious injury by the look on Eddie's face and the fact that his arm was dangling at his side the rest of the show."

Once they'd done their encore, Eddie went off to hsopital where a whole bunch of titanium was inserted into him, and then got straight on the bus to Mississippi.
