According to Contactmusic.com, THE KINKS legend Ray Davies is still suffering
the after-effects of a shooting in 2004 - he was hospitalised last year when
bullet residue formed a clot in his leg.
He was blasted in the leg in January 2004 as he chased a thief who had snatched
a purse in New Orleans, Louisiana.
He recovered from the attack after hospital treatment - but has now revealed
his leg is still "pretty bad" and gunshot residue in the wound made him "quite
ill" late last year.
Davies tells Q magazine, "It's been pretty bad, actually. I got quite sick
before Christmas from residue that is still in the leg and which formed a clot.
It made me quite ill and I was hospitalised for a bit.
"To put it politely, I don't think it was handled very well at the time: partly
because the hospital was busy, and partly due to the nature of the gunshot
wound. It was a zigzag bullet."
In November 2010, Davies axed four concerts in New York after doctors ordered
him not to fly until his condition had stabilised.
