Indie band British Sea Power’s keyboard and cornet player ended up in hospital after being knocked unconscious when he attempted a stage dive.

The crowd at Leeds Irish Centre failed to catch Phil Sumner, who jumped off a 12-foot PA system landing head first.

A spokeswoman for the band said: “The impact knocked him out straight away. He was unconscious for three minutes and there was a lot of blood.”

Despite a broken molar and stitches he returned to the stage on Thursday.

I took this photograph. Phil Sumner landed next to me when he attempted his stage dive. I thought it was hilarious despite being quite serious. Can somebody explain to me what my rights are as per copyright?
