Youch.  Billy Currington shows off the shiner he received this weekend via his Twitter. 

Bet it's a festival he and the band will never forget.

The boys and i are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon

And here's a statement issued from Billy's peeps and Billy himself...

Due to severe storms and tornadic weather activity on Saturday night, the stage at the Big Valley Jamboree music festival in Camrose, Alberta, Canada's largest country music festival, collapsed where singer Billy Currington was performing. Currington was on the last song of his set when the wind blew the staging down on top of him and his band.

Currington was taken to the hospital and suffered a minor concussion but is expected to make a full recovery. He has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Nashville. Currington's bass player Alex Stevens was pinned under the wreckage of the stage for half an hour while rescue personnel removed debris to free him. Stevens underwent immediate surgery to repair a severed artery and nerves in his left arm and is currently receiving treatment in Nashville. Currington sent a message to his fans today via Twitter, "The boys and I are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon." Currington also comments from his home in Nashville, "my heart goes out to the family of Donna Moore who was killed and all of the other fans who were hurt on Saturday."
