HM: The Verve in turmoil after bust-up on stage
The Verve's future is yet again thrown into turmoil after a huge bust up on stage at Osakas' Summer Sonic festival which resulted in guitarist Nick McCabe allegedly being sectioned and admitted to hospital. Sources close to band think there is as much chance of them playing this weekend's V Festival as Isaac Hayes. Audience members told us that Richard Ashcroft smashed his guitar at the end of "Lucky Man" in frustration at a bad gig. During "Bittersweet Symphony", McCabe decided to respond by playing a right old racket all the way through [above] causing Ashcroft to leave the stage kicking a guitar stand over on his way (Woooo!). More guitar throwing ensued and the Japanese fan were subjected to 5 minutes of McCabe trying to plug his guitar back in before trying to speak Japanese and slumping off stage. He didn;t join the rest of the band onr the flight home due to, well being in hospital suffering from a bad case of 'exhaustion'

I had to look up "being sectioned" since it sounds like some sort of medieval torture method, but apparently it has something to do with being forcibly admitted to a mental hospital? Hmm...
