Parfitt tells Total Guitar: "I was up on a riser - and that was in the days where we used to really jump up and down and flit about like ballet dancers - and I was due to do the lead vocal.

"I sprang down from the riser and fell flat on my face. It's not falling onstage that's the embarrassing thing, it's getting up. You see the whole front 15 rows laughing their f***ing heads off at you. I clambered up the microphone and tried to do the lead vocal but I realised I had cracked the neck of the guitar.
