Supergrass have cancelled their 'homecoming' gig at Oxford's Carling Academy due to an injury. Bassist Mick Quinn suffered an accident which left him with a broken back, forcing the cancellation of the gig on September 23. Quinn sleepwalked out of a first floor window of the villa he was staying at in the South of France.
