Mike Skinner Retires Moses After Crowdsurfing Injury

British music fans seem to have happy hands.

First, Gallows singer Frank Carter claimed someone grabbed his crotch while he was crowdsurfing at a London show in early December. Now, The Streets' Mike Skinner sustained an injury on Tuesday night after an overzealous fan grabbed the rapper/singer's belt and wouldn't let go during a crowdsurfing adventure at a Cambridge gig.

The injury has put Skinner's "Moses" crowdsurfing exploits on hold — likely forever.

Here's how Skinner described the incident in his MySpace blog:

"It seems the era of the Moses is over. I have been ordered by a local paramedic that I need to give my arms a chance to recover. I have been getting unbelievable pain in my elbows after Moses-based activity. People tend to tug me the fuck about and punch me and twist me up. It's great fun at the time but kills like fuck after. Really. Pain like I have never experienced.

"So tonight I was in such a state that the St John Ambulance insisted on calling the paramedics. Big up my new friend Darren who gave me the never go full retard works. ECG, blood pressure and look into my eyes blood sugar unconsciousness routine. Apparently I'm all good but need to stop the regular violent tugging and punching - yes punching, people punch me, scratch me and tonight someone held onto my belt so hard that my hernia scar from many years ago opened up to a bright red colour. Looks like a wee organ might pop out of its purply red bloody gash. Nice.

"Seriously never known pain like it and I broke both my arms when I was younger, hardly noticing it. Some kind of tendonitis, cramping and general bodily bashing. AAAAGGHH.

"Thanks Cambridge. Please raise a glass for the Moses and its final enactment."

This wasn't the only injury Skinner has suffered on his current tour. A visit to the dentist (a rarity for many Brits, it seems) may be in the cards after the Liverpool show, according to another blog post.

"I chipped a tooth in Dry Your Eyes though, when I put the whole mic in my mouth. Never tried to do that before. Probably won't ever again!"
