Marc Almond performed live after the accident

Singer Marc Almond has performed on stage for the very first time since he was critically injured in a motorcycle accident in October 2004 (see this news article). The results of the crash were more than devastating, the singer fractured his skull in two places, shattered his right shoulder, perforated his eardrum and suffered a collapsed lung. He also suffered two massive blood clots which caused his head to swell and had to undergo emergency surgery twice. After 3 months already Almond, who celebrated his 25 years in musicbusiness last year, made his live comeback at Vienna's Life Ball at the weekend. In an interview with the BBC he admits he is still not fully fit. The Soft Cell frontman is still recovering from his injuries after the crash that left him unconscious for 10 days. The singer will have a further operation this month and he still doesn't have full use of his right arm. Almond, 48, also added that chances are that a select number of Soft Cell shows may take place later in the year. The band apparently also plans to enter the studio again. First off is the release of a solo live DVD entitled "Sin Songs, Torch And Romance", a live performance recorded last year.
