Snow Patrol Singer Gary Lightbody Just Realized He Dislocated His Jaw Seven Years Ago
SNOW PATROL singer GARY LIGHTBODY has had a DISLOCATED JAW for SEVEN YEARS. So why hasn’t he done anything about it?
Well he ONLY just now realized it. Here’s what happened.
Last month, the band pulled out of a show in Ireland, because Gary’s face was so sore he couldn’t sing. He went to the doctor and found out he had a dislocated jaw that occurred back in 2003, when he fell down a flight of stairs at a nightclub.
In a new blog post, he explains, quote, “I busted myself up pretty bad. My eye closed over like a beaten boxer and I lost some teeth, which I got replaced.
“Waking up in a hospital bed with only one eye and the worst hangover I ever had is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Because of my previous night’s behavior to the nursing staff, the only thing they wanted was rid of me so there were no head X-rays taken.
“A few years after that incident, my jaw started to get sore and has been a source of pain for years. I have seen all kinds of people about it. My mistrust of Western medicine meant, though, that never once did I get it X-rayed.”
Apparently, the pain got so bad that Gary decided he could trust Western medicine long enough to have an X-ray. Since the problem was diagnosed, Gary has been wearing a dental appliance to correct it.
