Tim Farriss of INXS has suffered an horrific boating accident, severing his finger and causing permanent damage that may mean the INXS guitarist may never be able to perform again.

INXS manager Chris Murphy has confirmed the accident saying, “Tim is now home from the hospital with him family and undergoing physiotherapy as part of the recovery process. He is getting the best possible care and we hope with time he will regain movement in his finger. This was a terrible accident, we are all here to support him”.

Tim’s hand was caught in an electric anchor winch. Farriss was in Royal North Shore hospital for a week and is now back at home in recovery.

According to Murphy’s label Petrol Records, “the accident has caused permanent damage to Tim’s left hand and one of his fingers has been severed. He has undergone two extensive operations to reattach his finger. Tim is now at home undergoing further treatment to assist with his recovery”.
