" Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard was bitten by a scorpion during a concert in San Diego. Band members called the emergency services after the insect attacked Gibbard backstage during a costume change. Medics later gave the 32-year-old the all-clear and he went on to play the show, bassist Nick Harmer revealed on his blog. He wrote: &amp;quot;So tonight in San Diego, Ben got stung by a scorpion. Twice. I couldn&amp;#039;t make this stuff up if I tried, file this under &amp;#039;things that really happen on rock tours&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;Ben&amp;#039;s okay, if not a little shaken, but we were worried for a while because the scorpion was a little guy and when it comes to the wonderful world of scorpions, the smaller the deadlier.&amp;quot; Harmer said they had all been &amp;quot;rattled&amp;quot; by the unexpected incident. &amp;quot;I\u00E2\u20AC\u2122m still not convinced that [Ben] is 100% fine because nobody eliminated the possibility that it was a radioactive scorpion and that Ben will now develop super powers, so I&amp;#039;m keeping a close eye on him just in case,&amp;quot; he went on to joke.
