Chris Carrabba Discusses Accident

Dashboard Confessional’s Chris Carrabba is opening up about his motorcycle accident.

In a new interview, the singer described the 2020 incident saying, “There was a piece of debris from a previous car accident there that hadn’t been cleared. And as I don’t have a great memory [of it], this is how it was explained to me, a piece of that debris got up in the fork of my motorcycle, I went over the bars and slammed into the concrete. Into the pavement. And I was pretty badly injured.” 

Carrabba broke his humerus, collarbones and shattered bones in his shoulders and said the recovery was brutal.

He explained:

“The physical therapy, the dealing with the trauma of it all, the rigorous effort it’s taken to learn how to play guitar again. That was like the icing on the cake, cause first you have to learn how to brush your teeth, then you have to learn how to lift your arms up, and then you have to learn to dress yourself and all these things. Everything had to be rebuilt. Plus some of the muscles were lacerated in the accident, but also then they have to lacerate the muscles to fix the injury.” 

Dashboard Confessional is currently on their “Surviving The Truth” tour with Jimmy Eat World.
