The Cribs' drummer Ross Jarman has undergone surgery on his spine. Earlier this week, on August 2, Ross had a herniated disc corrected, which was pushing on a nerve."Surgery was the only option but due to our busy touring schedule there never seemed to be a good time to do it, so it kept getting put off and put off again. Things kept getting worse however to the point where even just sitting on a plane became a grueling ordeal, so the decision was made to have the operation after festival season finished this year."
According to Ryan, it was a pretty gnarly procedure, involving the spinal cord actually being moved. Ross has now six weeks of rest and rehabilitation. After that The Cribs will start working on album number five.
