Pretty Dirty Injuries

Dirty Pretty Things front man Carl Barat has broken his collarbone just as the band kick off their tour in the US.

He will still take to the stage on singing duties but pass his guitar over to The Paddingtons Josh Hubbard.

Barat confirmed he picked up the injury during a trip to Taiwan last week.

The bands mini tour gets underway this evening (Tuesday August 8) taking in Los Angeles Henry Fonda Theatre and finishing up at the New York Bowery Ballroom on August 14.

The band will return to the UK to play the Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festivals on August 25-27.
