We all love Mike Skinner, the real world incarnation of the The Streets; but apparently the lads in the UK love him a little too much. After diving into the crowd this past Tuesday night at a gig in Cambridge, a fan grabbed Mr. Skinner's belt with determined and prolonged conviction and refused to let go until it aggrivated an operation scar Skinner bears.

Skinner had this to say on his Myspace blog:

"It seems the era of the Moses is over. I have been ordered by a local paramedic that I need to give my arms a chance to recover. I have been getting unbelievable pain in my elbows after Moses-based activity. [...] Apparently I'm all good but need to stop the regular violent tugging and punching - yes punching, people punch me, scratch me and tonight someone held onto my belt so hard that my hernia scar from many years ago opened up to a bright red colour. Looks like a wee organ might pop out of its purply red bloody gash. Nice. Seriously never known pain like it and I broke both my arms when I was younger, hardly noticing it. Some kind of tendonitis, cramping and general bodily bashing. AAAAGGHH.

Thanks Cambridge. Please raise a glass for the Moses and its final enactment."

He also included this photograph. He still looks pretty chipper:

We all wish him well.
