Gaz Coombes has cancelled several solo tour dates after his daughter broke his leg with a painful "Bruce Lee" move.
The 42-year-old Supergrass frontman – who has two daughters 15-year-old Raya and Tiger, 10 with his partner Jools Poore – has sent fans into a frenzy when he posted his x-ray on Instagram on Monday morning (20.11.18), which shows a fracture in his joint being held together by metal screws after his daughter sent him into "surgery" with a karate kick.
Speaking to his loyal fans on social media, Gaz captioned the post: "I’ve only gone & broken my leg! Larking around with the kids I got "Bruce Lee’d" by my 15 year old, and let’s just say she connected too well."
The ‘Deep Pockets’ hitmaker was busy promoting his third solo album, ‘World’s Strongest Man’ – the follow up to 2015’s Matador – when the incident occurred, but he thanked his local NHS trust, Oxford University Hospital, for their "amazing" care.
Gaz added: "I’m going in for surgery today @OUHospitals Oxford, where everyone has been completely amazing.
"A massive thank you to everyone here at the JR & to our wonderful #NHS. I’ll be back soon xx (sic)"
