A pretty awful thing happened to the teeth/jaw of the singer of a band recording at the studio I worked at. His jaw was broken in a fight (more of a sucker-punch) before the vocal overdubs were done. He needed to have his jaw wired shut and at least six weeks if I recall to heal.
The (only) good thing about this story is his vocal approach / character didn't seem to change much after the injury healed. But you can decide for yourself...
...because you can easily hear the guy before and after his injury - it's Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. The attack happened while he was finishing The Moon and Antarctica which was their first for Epic records, so check out any MM title on Up! records against Good News For People Wo Love Bad News or later...
(Some of the Moon vocals were cut before he was attacked, so to be sure, don't listen for a change on that album)
