NEW YORK (CBS) ―
A 21-year-old musician is lucky to be alive after his head was impaled on a spiked metal fence during a fall from a balcony.
The incident happened at around 4 a.m. Saturday at a party in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. Police said Nicholas Blossom was intoxicated when he fell from a third-floor balcony onto the second-floor balcony of an adjoining building, landing head-first on the fence.
Rescuers used an electric saw to detach Blossom from the fence.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was in stable condition.
Blossom plays drums in a rock band called Alaska Alaska. The group is currently unsigned.

The group is currently unsigned. I can't imagine why.

Mr. Blossom is so fortunate that someone invented the electric saw.

Wow, he needed this about as much as he needed another hole in the head.

I could (but won’t) post a pic of a guy that was not so lucky. He jumped off a bridge to escape the police and landed right on top of an old style wrought iron fence. His head is still on the fence, and the rest of his body is on the sidewalk. Search the net and you can find it, if you dare.

Mr. Blossom is due for some personality changes, I'd wager.
Mr. Blossom, meet Phineas Gage...

Wait a minute! A drummer was involved in risky behavior at 4 AM while intoxicated? I’m having trouble believing this story!
HEAVY METAL PING!
...I don’t know if “Alaska Alaska” is Heavy Metal; but this sounds like a “Spinal Tap” drummer moment!

If I were Blossom, I would’ve had the ambulance stop at a 7-11 so I could run in and buy a lottery ticket. The rest of his life is pure velvet.
