Russell Lissack has had to be rushed to hospital during a trip to South Africa after being bitten by the predator.

Apparently Lissack was playing with a lion cub at an animal sanctuary when it attacked him reports Spinnermusic.co.uk.

The guitarist has been touring South Africa with Ash playing gigs in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The animal reportedly drew blood leaving a deep wound we will bring more details as they arrive.

It appears that Lissack was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated and have a tetanus booster but that was not the end of the drama.

A spokesperson for the band told Spinner after being treated the hospital had to be sealed off after the deaths of two men from an unidentified virus in an unrelated incident.

To add insult to injury on their return to the hotel the car the band were travelling in was involved in the band was involved in a crash but luckily no harm came to any passengers.

The band releases the second of its two compilation CDs on October 11.
