J.D.Daugherty
on
Mend After Crash
J.D.
Daugherty, long-time drummer with the Patti
Smith Band, is expected to make a full recovery
despite sustaining serious leg injuries in a motorcycle
accident in New York City.
The
musician was riding his motorcyle in downtown
Manhattan last Friday night (Feb. 8) when he was
involved in a head-on collision with a motorist.
J.D.
was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he has
so far undergone four surgeries on a crushed leg.
Jason
Liebman, a spokesman in the press office at Arista,
the Patti Smith Band's record company, said this
evening that J.D. had been wearing a helmet at
the time of the accident and did not sustain any
head injuries."In
fact," Liebman added, "my boss spoke to him in
the hospital today. He's going to be in the hospital
at least another week. He's expected to make
a full recovery."
Liebman said it was not known if J.D. will be
able to play drums on the Patti Smith Band's tour,
which is due to start in the Spring. The
band is scheduled to appear in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg
Waterfront Task Benefit at the Warsaw venue in
Brooklyn on March 2.
The
thoughts of Yvonne Sewall-Ruskin and the Max's
Kansas City Project web team are with J.D. and
those around him, and wish him a speedy and successful
recovery.
