From Goran’s website:

For those who heard about Goran Bregovic’s accident and worried…

Please DON’T WORRY.

Goran’s legendary good luck has protected him again and some time second week of July Goran should be on stage again -apologies to the audience of nine cancelled concerts between June 20 and July 7.

(He has also solemnly promised to give up climbing cherry trees)

Goran has asked us to sincerely thank all those who have written and wished him well.

Via Goran’s official website.

Last friday AFP reported Goran Bregović had an accident: He fell from a tree while picking cherries; he was at his home in Belgrade, and was admitted in the emergency area of a local hospital with a severe injury on his spine (a broken vertebrae).

The good news is he is in the way to full recovery; we have the word of one close friend of him, who sent this message to the manager of a fan group:

Goran hopes to stand and walk today – it should be OK in the next weeks.

Maesto Bregović, get well soon. Here in México (and in many places around the globe) we hope to see you soon again, playing and singing as always.

Thanks for the information, Oscar Miklos.

UPDATE (23/06/08): Today I received a message from Goran’s manager, who told me:

Goran is getting better every day… Hopefully we resume concert activities from July 8.

Great news.
