Black Keys Drummer Patrick Carney Injures Shoulder

Normally when you take a nice relaxing trip, you don't think the emergency room will be one of your stops. While in the Caribbean on a break from touring, this is exactly what happened to Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney.

According to TMZ, Carney was injured on January 3rd when a "humongous wave slammed him to the ocean floor". This caused his shoulder to be dislocated and required him to immediately seek medical attention. Fortunately, Carney's shoulder was reset at St. Bart's and he was released that day.

Carney seemed to be in good spirits about the whole affair and was even able to make fun of himself a bit when posting photos of it to Instagram. One of the captions reads, “Tune into my new lifetime movie. ‘Dislocated shoulder’ airing right now,”.


Unfortunately however, this incident brings up a whole new conundrum. According to the National Health Service in Britain it takes 12-16 weeks for a dislocated shoulder to fully recover. This is time that currently the Black Keys do not have as next month they begin another world tour. They have given no statement as to how if at all the injury will affect the tour. Hopefully some form of a solution can be found or Carney can tough it out like Jack White did recently with his horribly sprained ankle.
