Finneas suffers several fractures in biking accident: ‘I feel so lucky to be here’

Finneas is “feeling great” after suffering a collarbone and elbow fracture last week while riding an e-bike.

The 25-year-old singer took to Instagram on Thursday to share a photo of his X-ray, which showed one of his fractures, before explaining the scary situation.

“Last Friday, I had the pleasure of crashing my electric bike, flying over the handlebars and absolutely demolishing my collarbone as well as sustaining a radial head fracture to my right elbow,” the producer wrote.

“The severity of the displacement of my collarbone meant I required surgery which I am now on the other side of and I’m feeling great!,” the “Let’s Fall in Love For the Night” crooner continued.

 Finneas, whose full name is Finneas O’Connell, went on to thank his doctors, family and “most of all” his girlfriend, Claudia Sulewski, “for dropping everything to take care of me the second this happened.”

The musician and brother to Billie Eilish reassured fans that with “hard work” he will be able to accompany his younger sister when she plays at The Forum in New York City in December.

“As foolish as I felt after the fall, my prevailing emotion is gratitude. You see, I was not wearing a helmet. Lesson forever learned,” the Grammy winner continued.

He concluded, “I feel so lucky to still be here. Take care of yourselves, thank your bodies for all that they do for you. See you all again soon ♥️.”

The hitmaker, however, isn’t the only celebrity to take a tumble while cruising on an e-bike.

Back in February Simon Cowell “slipped off” his electric motorbike, knocking himself out and breaking his wrist.

Similarly to Finneas, the former “American Idol” judge revealed that he wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
