Moby Fractures Ankle Kickboxing… By Himself

Moby recently hurt his ankle while kickboxing, but probably not in the way you'd expect.

"i fractured my ankle. ugh," the musician wrote in a journal entry on his website today (Tuesday).

"it's turned all different colors (well, vaguely demonic colors: black, hades purple, plague pustule green, etc), and i now have packs of hyenas following me around ready to eat my foot when/if it finally falls off.

"i fractured my ankle at kickboxing. that’s the cool ½ of the story. the uncool part is that i wasn't actually fighting at the time. i was walking in the ring and 'snap' fell over.

"the perils of inbreeding: no hair, crummy teeth, and ankles with the strength of old, dessicated toothpicks. perhaps this is too much information. sorry."

Moby will release Wait For Me through Mute on June 30. The video for lead single "Shot In The Back Of The Head" was directed by David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Wild At Heart). You can see it here.
