LOS ANGELES -- The bassist of late '60s rock band MC5 was hospitalized
with a fractured spine and other injuries from a motorcycle accident, his
wife said Wednesday.

Michael Davis, 62, was riding his Harley-Davidson on a freeway in Pasadena
on Monday when he hit a muffler in the roadway, Angela Davis said.

Davis, who bruised his ribs and will be in a back brace for six weeks, was
wearing a helmet, goggles and leather jacket at the time of the crash, she
said.

The bassist gained prominence in the revolutionary Detroit band MC5 and
currently plays in a version of the group called DKT with former MC5
members Wayne Kramer and Dennis Thompson.

Two DKT performances, including a May 19 show at the Joey Ramone Birthday
Bash in New York, have been canceled due to the accident. A decision was
pending on a Florida show over Memorial Day weekend.
