A broken neck mends a broken band

The nasty accident when Travis drummer Neil Primrose broke his neck in the swimming pool had consequences for us all. Until it happened, Travis were about to split, reveals Fran Healy:

"When you start getting successful the business starts to seep in to any sort of cracks, and then they expand and push everyone apart.

"You then start to see each other as workmates and not friends. It is bizarre but when Neil had his accident and broke his neck we were like - 'oh no, it's Neil!' - not 'oh God, our drummer!'. I think we suddenly became friends again."

You see why taking care at the swimming pool is so important, now, don't you?
