“He's made of different stuff from the rest of us”: Snow Patrol guitarist performs live with two broken hands

Johnny McDaid performs on stage playing a Taylor acoustic guitar.

Dave Grohl famously toured with a broken leg, and Pete Townshend once impaled his hand on his Stratocaster's whammy bar. But for sheer 'the show must go on' determination, Snow Patrol guitarist and keyboardist Johnny McDaid's recent exploits take some beating.

Snow Patrol, best known for their hits Chasing Cars and Run, have been touring Europe in support of new album The Forest is the Path.
