SNOW Patrol frontman Johnny McDaid was rushed to hospital for surgery on Sunday after sustaining a nasty injury.

The Irish singer, 48, is now in a race against time to recover ahead of the band’s huge run of summer festival gigs which begin in June.

Johnny’s Snow Patrol bandmate Gary Lightbody revealed he had undergone treatment.

Gary, 48, said: “Johnny had hurt his hand at the start of the tour, we were going from Switzerland to Frankfurt on a train.

“We did the whole European tour on the train, it was really fun – except for this thing which happened, where Johnny got his hand caught in a door.

“And it wrecked his hand. He ended up getting surgery on his hand. Never missed a show.

“And then the Thursday night in Belfast, at midnight or so, he fell and wrecked his other hand – smashed his knuckles on his other hand.”

Speaking to RTE, Gary added: “When we came in for sound check on Friday, he couldn’t move the fingers on his right hand. And he still played the show on Friday night.

“He has just today (Sunday) gone to get surgery on his hand. It’s insane. He had two broken on Friday’s show – and he played the gig.

“Unbelievable – he’s made of different stuff from the rest of us.”

It comes six years after Gary had to undergo surgery on his neck – which saw the band forced to pull out of performing at Glastonbury.

At the time, Gary updated the band’s fans on Johnny’s condition and said: “Our dear brother, piano and guitar player Johnny McDaid has a serious problem with his neck and after consulting with some top neurosurgeons they are all in agreement that the only course of action is immediate surgery.

“Johnny has been incredible in the wake of this news and has remained calm at a time when a lot of people might freak out.”

Johnny went on to make a full recovery and the band have been playing all over the world since.

They will return to live music this summer with a huge run of gigs across the UK, kicking off in Plymouth on 12 June.

Snow Patrol are also booked to play shows in Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow and Suffolk.

PADDY McGuinness the face of Saturday night TV, a father of three and now a travel expert in his own right.

Since 2018, Paddy has been an experienced jet-setter off to the likes of Sweden, Greece, Ethiopia and for new show Tempting Fortune, Malaysia – but he confessed that back in the early days of travelling with his childhood pal Peter Kay, he didn’t follow hotel etiquette.

Paddy, whose new show Tempting Fortune is on Channel 4 on Sunday nights from 16 March, has had a close friendship with Bolton-born comedian Peter, since meeting at school.

So when the chance arose to go on a trip together, they took it.

Paddy revealed, “This was before I was ever on telly, Peter at the time was a jobbing comedian and booked a gig in Geneva and asked if I wanted to go.

“Of course I did! So we went over there together to this huge hotel that was five-star. I thought ‘if only our teachers could see us now’.”

Paddy continued, “So when I was young and started going into hotels, I thought it was completely fine to take the towels – and in Geneva, they were more like duvets.

“They were so fluffy and I thought ‘I’m getting them in my case’, so we literally emptied the room – I even took home an ashtray.

“In my nativity and innocence, I thought that was what you get when you book a hotel, and it was a perk of being there.”

Even more surprisingly, than his towel theft, Paddy confessed that before he landed his job on Top Gear seven years ago, he struggled to even step foot on a plane.

Paddy explained, “I was a really nervous flyer. I wasn’t quite at the stage where you had to give me sleeping tablets and a glass of milk, but I had to have a few pints for Dutch courage.

“Day one on any trip and I’d be hungover because I’d have to be drunk to even get on the flight.”

Paddy continued, “So I saw a doctor at the Priory, they can help with everything and I needed to get over my fear of flying.”

A couple of months later and Paddy became someone who could easily manage a flight.

He revealed that now, he even looks forward to having a glance through the in-flight menu.

“I’d advise anyone to get a bit of help, if you’ve got a phobia and want to get over it, you have to do it. It completely changed my life.

“Now I enjoy the whole flight and I can’t stop doing that now. Once I started Top Gear, I started seeing parts of the world I would have never imagined I’d see.

“I’ve been fortunate to see some of these places and go off the beaten track, and that gave me the travel bug.”

Going back to Paddy’s very early holidays, he and his mum, Patricia, wouldn’t stray far from their hometown of Bolton.

Paddy said, “I was from a single-parent family, and we didn’t have a lot in the bank. What I remember of my first holiday is that it wasn’t until I was about 13 and it was a caravan in Morecambe.

“I remember going with my mum to the caravan park, going to a show in the evening, and a disco and thinking ‘this is brilliant!'”.

Paddy has been all over the world since combating his fear of flying[/caption]

Since welcoming his three children, Leo, Penelope and Felicity, with his now ex-wife Christine McGuinness, Paddy has entered the world of all-inclusive resorts and holiday parks.

As much as Paddy loves a family holiday with his kids, he admitted it can be tough.

He added, “Anyone with more than one kid knows how stressful it is coming through an airport.

“Our holidays, at the beginning were trips to Centre Parcs, but now, the kids really like going to Spain and it’s only a two hour flight – it’s just about doable.

“The older they get, I wouldn’t use the word easy, but it’s more manageable, especially if they can entertain themselves.”

Instagram

One of Paddy’s most memorable flights was actually before he had children.

He said, “I’m going back 11 years ago now, but I remember when Christine was pregnant with the twins and we thought we’d have one more special holiday just the two of us.

“We went to Dubai, it wasn’t as it well-known as it is now, but it was a place where it seemed like people were going, and we thought we’d give it a whirl.

“So, we went to town bought expensive plane tickets and we went first class. Now I’d never done first class in my life, but I thought my wife’s pregnant and we might never get a chance to do this again, so we did it.

“Well, it might be expensive, but I can see the appeal of having a bed and a shower on the plane.

“I’m sure I had a shower over Baghdad at one point, I looked on the map and thought, ‘this is mad'”.

Now, Paddy is out of the country all the time, from Don’t Look Down in Austria to Top Gear, Road Tripping with Chris Harris.

For his future travels, Paddy asked, “have you heard of dark tourism?”

The term coined for travel to places historically associated with tragedy. Paddy referenced Chernobyl and Pompeii, but there’s another location on his list.

“I remember seeing Michael Palin go to North Korea. It’s completely random, and obviously we know what goes on there, but it’s almost morbid curiosity.

“That’s a barometer I set my life by, Michael Palin. If he can do it, you can do it.”

For his latest project, Tempting Fortune, Paddy travelled to the much safer destination of Langkawi.

He explained, “I’ve been over to Malaysia, before but I’ve never been to Langkawi – the island is absolutely stunning.

“It takes a bit of acclimatising though with the heat and the humidity. It hit me like a ton of bricks, it’s that kind of heat where you’re sweating sat down and when you breathe, you can feel warmth going into your lungs.

“I found myself in Craghoppers shirts and boots in the jungle, it felt a little bit at home actually, rather than sitting around the pool in a luxury resort.”

Tempting Fortune is on Channel 4 on Sunday nights from 16 March.

It's an umbrella, not a circus tent.

William Saliba insists he ‘loves’ playing for Arsenal but is in no rush to begin talks over signing a potential new contract.

The France international has enjoyed another reputation enhancing season at the heart of the Gunners’ defence which has underpinned a campaign that could yet end in Champions League glory.

Like his central defensive partner, Gabriel Magalhaes, Saliba’s deal expires in 2027 and with no talks currently scheduled, Real Madrid have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old.

The prospect of losing their talismanic centre-half for nothing in two years’ time is something Arsenal must guard against and incoming sporting director Andrea Berta will surely treat the former Saint-Etienne defender’s situation as a priority once he begins his new role officially.

Saliba was asked about his future ahead of tomorrow night’s Champions League last 16 second leg tie against PSV and said: ‘I am really happy here.

‘I want to continue here. Not yet [talks over a new deal], there is no rush. I am happy here. That’s it.’
