According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 16 August 2011 A Shitty End To A Great Summer. So I am back at Hive Manor safe but not quite sound. Better by the hour though. Stiff as a board and a headache and a little trouble focusing but that's it. Thanks for all your support. Feels good. There have been some questions and I would like to answer the most common ones. Here goes: -Yes I will be ok -Yes it could have been a lot worse but let's not think about that - No I was completely sober. Almost always am during the shows. I will be lying here in robe and slippers until I feel better and that's that! Onwards and upwards! Yours truly, Howlin Pelle Almqvist

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 15 August 2011 Notes from a hospital bed... So it finally happened. Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell and it was ugly. Icarus in this story would be me and the sun more like a lighting rig and the flying was more like climbing. We were doing our show in Zofingen, Switzerland and during 'Walk Idiot Walk' the music was so powerful that I was convinced I could jump *AROUND* a corner and land on stage. Seems silly now but a real possibility then. The only reason I think I will get away with these things is that so far I always have. I somehow got caught by my heel in some stage rigging and fell 3 meters (roughly 9.8 feet for you non-metrics) and landed on my head and leg. I then finish the show limping like a three legged dog and speaking in tongues. Turns out I have a concussion and god knows what else. The highly skilled doctors are still trying to find out. Xrays, brain scans and running other t...

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 15 August 2011 Sorry France! Real sorry France that we didn't show up last night to rock out but Pelle was all hooked up to hoses and cables and forbidden to fly as he suffered a concussion in a deathdefying jump at saturdays Swiss show. We'll be back some other time! Send the boy a get well note! A tout a leure! Arson

Pelle was hurt all over the concert yesterday. He have a brain concussion. That's very anxious... From follows, Nadine. Thank you for translation! There´s bad news concerning the show yesterday in Switzerland (Heitere Open Air)... Pelle obviously fell off the stage after climbing up somewhere. He managed to finish the set, but according to an article on the internet he had to be brought to the hospital after that, cause he had bruises, a concussion and stuff like that. Here is the article about it (german): regiolive.ch #1 regiolive.ch #2 They also had to cancel the show today in France due to the accident yesterday.

According to The Hives Broadcasting Service Diary . ----------------------- 8 August 2011 Oh where does one begin? I am writing to you from an island somewhere in Sweden. I thought I would try to explain a bit or two about our recent trip to 'Orstralia' and what went down there down under, but shit is a blur! I found some cocktail napkins in my pockets so seems like I only have to stitch it together and we will see if it makes sense. Somewhere over Mongolia, 20 July 2011 We are at some preposterous altitude or other and the outside temperature is below the below-est. I am eating some fancy chocolate with hazelnuts I picked up in Frankfurt and drinking some red wine. The last few days seems hazy since I left the Greek islands and flew to Stockholm and then straight out to the Swedish islands, only to get up at 4.30am to go BACK to the airport in order to board this Frankfurt-Singapore-Perth flight . Feeling upside down but Australia never let me down befo...
