TOOL Drummer Has Hand Surgery

June 9, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports that TOOL drummer Danny Carey had to have two surgeries on his hand recently, according to a post at the group's official web site, Toolband.com. The post said that Carey's hand was apparently injured as a result of a run-in with "an unruly marine hazard, venomous and... dangerous... while vacationing in Hawaii. This aquatic critter was most likely a sea urchin or a scorpion fish." The post was accompanied by a photo of Carey's hand taken by guitarist Adam Jones, which clearly shows a scar.

The post added that Carey's hand was "still numb" after the surgeries.

TOOL has been laying low since completing a year and a half of touring at the end of 2007 in support of its last album, "10,000 Days".

Singer Maynard James Keenan recently released a debut album and a collection of remixes from his side project, PUSCIFER.

Asked by LiveDaily.com about the status of TOOL and his other band, A PERFECT CIRCLE, Keenan said, "Those other projects are always in the works. There's always something going on... They're still alive."
