Get well Sixty

If you’ve been living under a rock (i.e. don’t follow 360 on Twitter), then you would have missed the events of the past few days.

Our friend 360 was involved in a serious go-karting accident while in Sydney mixing his album, and has had to undergo emergency surgery. He is recovering well, but he will be laid up for a couple of weeks. Our thoughts are with him for a speedy recovery.

If you want to hit up the kid with a message of support, 140 characters addressed to @3ree6ixty would surely be appreciated. Now a word from our sponsors…

360 in whirl of kart pain

20 Jul 2010 | Herald Sun

MELBOURNE rapper 360 is nursing a ruptured scrotum after a nasty go-kart accident.

360, who will release an album on EMI later this year, was go-karting in Sydney on Sunday.

360 kept fans updated on Twitter as he went into the hospital yesterday morning.

‘‘So I ruptured my pancreas or some s—had to go under the knife to stop internal bleeding, I have 2 holes in my balls as well,’’ he tweeted.

360 had previously tweeted from hospital that ‘‘the damages are epic’’.
