Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp was rushed to hospital after an accident which involved a chainsaw, his son Roman has said.
Speaking on the You About podcast with Tom Grennan, Roman explained that Martin was lucky he wasn’t left ‘fingerless’ following the incident.
The 64-year-old sent an image of his hand wrapped up in bandages after he picked up a chainsaw by the blade.
“What the hell has happened to your dad’s fingers?” Grennan asked Roman on the podcast.
Roman replied:
“It’s scary. Friday night I’d just finished work and looked at my phone, and dad sent a picture of his hand with all fingers heavily strapped up.
“And all he writes underneath in the family WhatsApp group is ‘yep… chainsaw.’”
He continued: “I was texting him saying ‘what?!’ but got no reply, and then Harley my sister is like ‘what’s happened?’ but again, no reply.
“So he said ‘Oh there was a bit of the branch that we wanted chopping down so I went and got a chainsaw.”
“He’s 65. He’s got more than enough dough. Get a professional in, you can’t be doing that,” Roman added. “My dad said ‘Oh yeah I picked it up by the blade.”
