Andy fractured three ribs
On June 18, 2011, Andy shattered three ribs when he fell from a balcony at a Hollywood show. He climbed a side balcony at the shopping mall, and tried to jump back to the stage.
"It was just me being dumb onstage and trying to put on as good of a show as possible... I sort of misjudged the mark and paid for it dearly." He got up and finished the show.
"I've asked several doctors and gotten a bunch of different opinions. I'm going to have to miss the first week of the Warped tour at the very least, and that's frustrating, but I'm also not going to push myself to get onstage before I'm ready."
"It's a crappy time for it to happen... but you look at the silver lining, which is that I have time to go on the computer and read what fans are saying about the record. Seeing the reaction of our audience is what's most important to me."

Andy broke his nose
He broke his nose at a show in Luxembourg on October 26, 2011, having to postpone all shows.
He said on Twitter: "For those asking, during last night's show I broke my nose down the center, splitting the bone. Due to my current injury we are putting all euro/uk shows on hold until further notice. I apologize and promise to do my best to recover. Excruciating pain and it's my own damn stage antics fault. I promise to try my best to heal quickly."

Although all shows were postponed, they played the last show of the UK tour at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.
The band said: "Despite making through the show, Andy was in excruciating pain and had difficulty singing and breathing. As a result, he needed to see a doctor after the show. He has been advised not to perform for the next three weeks to allow himself time to rest, heal and fully recover."
