Nichols posted in a social media update: “I had a small accident last night after my set. I ended up grabbing a road case the wrong way, my arm twisted under the stress, and I heard a loud pop. Turns out I broke my right arm just above the elbow.”
He added: “Please don’t worry! I have complete feeling/mobility in my hand, as well as full grip strength. No pain meds, no problem. I’ll be fine, but of course, I am beyond bummed.”
“Unfortunately, I’m going to have to cancel the rest of the upcoming dates on this run… Gimme a few weeks and I’ll be back in action & better than ever. Until then, I’ll be practising my legato technique, and bends/vibrato till I’m blue in the face. Love you all, bluespower motherfuckers!”
