Bernard Sumner Attacked by Shark?!

Bernard Sumner had a scare on a recent sailing trip with his family in Scotland. The former New Order singer was taking a yacht out to the island of Barra when his boat suddenly had a collision with 30 foot shark.

“The boat nearly sank and there was a big imprint of a huge shark in the paint on its bottom. There was this God-almighty crash, like I’d hit rocks. I checked the charts and there were no rocks, so I called the coastguard and he said other boats that had been up there that morning had reported six large sharks in that part of the sea. My family were in bed, so I was pulling the floorboards up every 10 minutes to see if we’d taken on water,” said Sumner.

Coincidentally, Sumner’s got a new album coming out next week.
