Travis singer Fran Healy rushed to hospital after slicing through hand

Travis singer Fran Healy was rushed to hospital after he sliced through his hand – two years after a dog attack left him needing surgery.

The Why Does It Always Rain on Me frontman made ­headlines in 2021 after a sausage dog mauled him and left a wound on his hand.

It left him in agony and stopped him from using his left hand for several months and he had to have surgery to repair his wound.

This time, Fran was left bloodied again as he sliced through his right hand as he carried a metal cornering strip from the DIY store into his car.

Showing off his bloodied hand as he awaited treatment at the hospital in America, Fran said: “Deary me!”

He explained: “I’m adding an extra wall in my studio and picked up some cornering (very thin 10ft long metal strip) and was putting it in the car and it slid very gently down the crack between my thumb and forefinger like a sushi knife. Right hand this time. Will take couple of weeks to heal.”

Revealing the state of his hand following treatment he added: “Seven stitches.” He also revealed that he was screaming during his treatment.

He said: “The doctor told me, as he was preparing to inject the affected area with lidocaine, that this
particular area of the body (possibly the universe) has the highest concentration of nerve endings.

“I videoed the injections. Lots of screaming from me.”
