According to brooklynvegan.com, on December 1 rock band Pulp almost did not perform at Asia Hong Kong’s Clockenflap Festival due to band member Jarvis Cocker breaking two ribs when he fell down a staircase in Kowloon. Thankfully the doctors at the hospital were able to fixed up Cocker, who will be turning 60 this year. Unlike the time when he fell out of a window back in the 80s and had to perform in a wheelchair, Cocker was standing on stage and playing his guitar on a few songs.
Emma Smith, who plays in the current lineup has stated that: “He wasn’t supposed to dance but he couldn’t help a few wiggles and put on a great show. What a pro.” After the concert Cocker went on social media thank the fans for their love and support.
“Hong Kong – you were a miracle! I broke 2 ribs when I fell down a staircase in Kowloon (swipe for evidence) but the hospital got me so I could still do the show. & the audience took it to another level. Thank you!!!!
Having a lie-down now…..”
Pulp’s next show is on New Year’s Eve in Edinburgh, which will give Cocker to heal up and the band have few 2024 festival dates lined up already including a performance at Primavera Sound Barcelona.
