The Kinks' Ray Davies Suffering From Gunshot Wound

02/25/2011
. (Gibson) Although it has been more than seven years since Ray Davies was shot in the leg after chasing a thief in New Orleans, the Kinks frontman is still affected by the injury in major ways.

The wound stemming from the 2004 incident actually put the 66-year-old rocker in the hospital late last year.

"It's been pretty bad, actually," he told Q magazine. "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 hospitalized for a bit."
