(TeamRock Radio) Delain bassist Otto Schimmelpenninck has ruptured one of his testicles after a stage mishap. The Dutch symphonic metal outfit were performing at the O2 Academy in Birmingham when the incident happened - and it was because he was standing too close to a streamer cannon.

He says on Facebook: "They shoot silver streamers into the audience usually during The Gathering. We've been using this for ages without any problems at all, but in Birmingham things went wrong.

"In my enthusiasm I did not pay attention, and happened to be very close when the streamer fired. It hit me from the back, in my genitals. Although pain was pretty bad, I was merely pissed off at myself for not paying attention.

"During the next song, pain got worse, and I had the feeling I was bleeding. Pretty soon pain got to the point where I could barely stay conscious any more. I did manage to finish the show and even squeeze out some grunts."

It was only after the show that the extent of the damage became obvious - and he says he came close to losing the testicle. Read more here.
