The Runaways‘ Cherie Currie has claimed that she could have suffered a severe injury due to Rush allegedly “sabotaging” them while performing.While appearing as a guest on The Metal Voice, the former frontwoman opened up about the band’s feud with the Canadian prog-rock band, and how one of their sabotaging acts could have allegedly left Currie paralysed.Formed in 1975, The Runaways – comprised of Currie, guitarists Joan Jett and Lita Ford, bassist Jackie Fox and drummer Sandy West – were one of the first all-female rock bands known for their hit tracks such as ‘Cherry Bomb’, ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Queens Of Noise’.In her interview with The Metal Voice, Currie opened up about touring with Rush in 1977 and their behaviour. At the time, the members of The Runaways were teenagers while Rush were all in their mid-twenties.
