L.A. electronic music sensations Goldroom have postponed one tour date, and others might be in jeopardy, as main man Josh Legg recovers from a broken neck.
Along with a photo of him in his hospital bed, Legg explained in a Facebook post today that he was in Tulum, Mexico, to perform at Corona Sunsets and enjoying a dip in the Caribbean when “a freak wave picked me up and brought me down to earth on my head.
“Without going into the insane details of what the next 12 hours held, I eventually discovered that I had broken my neck in two places. I am VERY lucky that my spinal cord was uninjured in the accident. I’m strong, have feeling in my limbs, and am looking at a really positive prognosis. I flew back to L.A. on Monday and the doctors are confident that I won’t be needing surgery.”
Goldroom was set to do a date on the summer’s High Seas Boat Tour this weekend in Vancouver. That has been rescheduled for September.
The weird thing is the Gold Room Bar in Echo Park, whom he named his musical project after, is also closed, probably for good.
