Short story:

As Bob Dylan is about to leave New York City, USA, aboard the QE2, to headline the Isle Of Wight Festival in England, his son Jesse injures his head and Dylan rushes to hospital with him.

Full article:

Ray Foulk (Isle of Wight Festival organiser) : It was dreadful news. I was, at this stage, in daily contact with (Dylan's Agent, Bert) Block. He telephoned me and with the news that Dylan had left the ship to go to the hospital and was still in New York. Block said that Dylan would obviously have to fly over at a later date. The accident brought home to us the vulnerability of our position. What if the boy had been killed? Dylan would obviously have cancelled. The event all hinged upon this one human being. It shook us up a bit.
