ACCEPT guitarist Herman Frank fell backward onstage halfway through the band's' concert Friday night at Backstage Live in San Antonio. Frank played the remainder of the show, but the reformed German metal legends were forced to play as a four-piece during their concert in Houston, Texas the following night (Saturday, May 7th).
"Unfortunately, Herman had an accident during last night's show in San Antonio," Accept bassist Peter Baltes stated online. "He tripped and landed hard on his back. Even though he managed to finish the show, his pain became unbearable as we arrived in Houston (for the band's final night of the American portion of its tour). He was taken to the emergency room, where the doctors discovered four broken ribs and a punctured lung. He will remain at the hospital for now. Considering his condition, his spirit is great, and we all need to give our support to him as he recovers from his injuries. In the meantime, the band will continue the tour, and Herman will rejoin us as soon as he is all healed up and good to go."
