Slipknot Vocalist Corey Taylor Suffers “a Hard Fall” During Performance

This is scary: Slipknot’s Corey Taylor apparently took a nasty spill during the band’s concert in Atlanta, GA last night — which was only his second performance back since having surgery for a broken neck.

Taylor has been under strict orders from doctors not to headbang or jump around too much, and has been performing in a neck brace to boot. Luckily, the vocalist says the fall wasn’t as bad as it looked:

ATL: haha don't worry, I'm okay! I THINK that fall was one for the ages haha! DAMN it hurt- but DAMN what a crowd! See you again soon!#CMFT

So, disaster(piece) averted. Phew! And Taylor has tonight off to recover before Slipknot’s tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men resumes in Florida on Friday, which can only help.
