Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody Diagnosed With Dislocated Jaw After Eight Years

March 11, 2010
Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody Diagnosed With Dislocated Jaw After Eight YearsSnow Patrol's Gary Lightbody has recently discovered that he has been singing with a dislocated jaw for the past eight years.

The 33-year-old frontman says he smashed his face up badly when he fell down a flight of stairs during a night out in Glasgow in 2002.

He was taken to hospital but wasn't given a thorough check because of his abusive behaviour towards staff – something he regrets badly.

Speaking to The Daily Record, Lightbody said: "I busted myself up pretty bad. My eye closed over like a beaten boxer and I lost some teeth, which I got replaced.

“Waking up in a hospital bed with only one eye and the worst hangover I ever had is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

"Because of my previous night's behaviour to the nursing staff, the only thing they wanted was rid of me so there were no head x-rays taken. Let me be clear right now, I am not annoyed with the nurses at all - I'm only ashamed of myself, not annoyed with them.

"A few years after that incident, my jaw started to get sore and has been a source of pain for years. I have seen all kinds of people about it.

"My mistrust of western medicine meant, though, that never once did I get it x-rayed."

Explaining the moment he discovered the ailment, Lightbody continued: "It got so sore that I couldn't take it any longer and went to a doctor who promptly X-Rayed me and discovered that it was dislocated."
