Supergrass star Mick Quinn has broken his back falling from a first-floor window of a villa in France while sleepwalking.
The singer and bassist was rushed to hospital in Toulouse, where the band were enjoying a summer break after completing their sixth album.
He is expected to make a full recovery following an operation to repair two broken vertebrae and a smashed heel.
The band have been forced to cancel their one-off show at the Oxford Carling Academy on September 23 as a result of the injury.
Frontman Gaz Coombes said: "We hope the crazy fool gets back on his feet as soon as possible. I'm sure he'll make a full recovery; he's a tough cookie."
