Chris Carrabba, frontman with US band Dashboard Confessional, has said he is recovering after suffering "severe" injuries in a motorcycle accident at the weekend.
Writing on Instagram, the singer-guitarist said: "Hi friends on June 6th I was in a motorcycle accident. My injuries were severe but not life threatening.
"I owe the amazing doctors, nurses and medical team treating me my endless gratitude. I am determined to make a full recovery, but I have surgeries and months of rehab to come."
Carrabba thanked the makers of the safety gear he was wearing at the time of the crash and paid tribute to family and friends for their support.
"To all reading this I would like to say thank you for standing by me through my recovery. This will be difficult physically, emotionally and financially and I'm grateful to have your support as I go through it," he continued.
Carrabba added that he would continue to support the Black Lives Matter movement during his recovery and time away from social media.
"I have not lost sight of the social issues at hand and even in the condition I'm in I find it important to state that I stand with Black Lives Matter," he said. "In the near future it is likely I will no be able to follow the news as much as I normally would. If you don't hear from me on critical social issues I trust that you will know where I stand."
