Stereophonics Frontman Kelly Jones Left Injured After Fight With After Party Bouncers

Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones reportedly got in to a fight with bouncers which left him with a large gash on his right arm. The incident happened at the Amika nightclub in London at an after party for the Vodafone Live Music Awards.

The Stereophonics had earlier performed at the awards ceremony and was in attendance at the after show party with his girlfriend. It is thought that at about 1am Kelly entered the ladies toilets to find his girlfriend but was pursued by staff. Despite protestations that he was only in there looking for his other half, the security staff tried to eject him from the club and a scuffle ensued.

He then apparently staggered in to a glass vase which smashed injuring his right arm. Door staff called paramedics who arrived at the scene and treated him with first aid. He was then taken to hospital where he said to have had stitches.

The pictures are all over the newspapers today, and the band are getting a lot of press from it. It’s quite handy really as they are currently promoting new single ‘It Means Nothing’ from their forthcoming album ‘Pull The Pin’, due out on October 15th. I’m not suggesting this was staged at all, but it has certainly been milked for all its worth.

I love the Stereophonics but Kelly Jones can come across as a bit of an arrogant arse at times. If I was to disappear in to the girls toilets at a club, I’d fully expect to be thrown out, wouldn’t you?
