Martin Kemp Says He’s ‘A Lot Better’ After Chainsaw Injury as Gigs Proceed

The Spandau Ballet musician says he is recovering following a chainsaw mishap at home.

Overview

  • Kemp posted an Instagram video showing bandaged fingers and told fans he is feeling better, confirming his Lincoln Cathedral DJ set and other shows are still on.
  • The incident happened last week at his home while tackling a tree branch, according to son Roman Kemp’s account on the You About podcast.
  • Roman said his father picked up the chainsaw by the blade without a sheath, it activated, and Kemp later received hospital treatment including a tetanus injection.
  • The family first learned of the injuries when Kemp shared a photo of heavily strapped fingers to their WhatsApp with the message, “Yep… Chainsaw.”
  • Roman urged hiring professionals for such jobs and said his dad was lucky not to lose his hand, while some outlets reported Kemp returned to a DJ set shortly after the accident.
