Gem Archer, guitarist for Beady Eye, has fractured his skull reportedly falling down stairs.

Beady Eye’s website reported that Archer was admitted to hospital on August 1 “with severe head injuries”. The band has now cancelled all shows for August including their V Festival appearance.

A statement at the bands website reads:

“Beady Eye regret to announce that they are cancelling their performance at V Festival and their remaining scheduled shows and promotional commitments in August due to guitarist Gem Archer suffering severe head trauma after an accident on August 1st.

“The band apologise to fans but under the circumstances feel they can not perform without Gem and want to focus on supporting him throughout his recovery.

“Gem was released from hospital yesterday evening and is recovering at home though remains under observation”.

Liam Gallagher formed Beady Eye in 2009 following the break-up of Oasis. The band is basically Oasis without Noel Gallagher. Former Kasabian guitarist Jay Mehler has been playing bass on tour with the band.
