Kris Allen to undergo more wrist surgery
Singer Kris Allen will undergo a second operation on his wrist on Monday (20May13) after breaking it in a car crash on New Year's Day (01Jan13).
The 2009 American Idol winner had his first surgery to fix the joint days after the accident, but he has yet to fully recover from the injury and now requires further treatment to aid the healing process.
In a post on his website, he explains, "There was always a good
chance that it wouldn't heal properly because of how bad the break
was. My wrist has not healed like it should and I am going to need
another surgery. My surgery will leave me with limited movement for
the rest of my life but will take away the pain and give me most of
my strength back."
Allen, who is expecting his first child with his wife, Katy, has
assured fans he will bounce back from the operation and insists it
won't affect his music.
The 27 year old adds, "For those of you who are getting worried
right about now... don't. I will be fine. After everything is
healed, I will be able to play guitar. I will be able to play
piano. I will be able to throw a baseball with my kid. I will be
able to do the things that I love to do. Just not a proper
push-up...
"On Monday I go under the knife and I'll make sure to keep you guys
updated as much as possible. I may be under the influence of some
drugs, so I apologize for my tweets and posts in advance."
