It was back in 2010 that top session bassist Nathan East bounded across the stage in order to impress his bass hero, Verdine White, but his performance with American rockers TOTO would become memorable for all the wrong reasons. The incident was captured on camera by a member of the audience, and if you watch closely enough you can pinpoint the exact moment where Nathan’s tendon tears.

I hope the healing goes quickly, sir. You are an honest and sincere individual. Toto is a great band and they are lucky to have you.

Not everybody ages the same way so when u getting up there in age some of the most unexplainable injuries are possible.

I don't know when this happened but Nathan East is such a chilled and likeable professional. I hope he recovered quickly
