Channy Leaneagh Of POLIÇA Suffers Back Injury Dealing With Ice Dams

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Well-known Minnesota musician Channy Leaneagh, of POLIÇA, is recovering after she fell and broke her back attempting to deal with one of winter's biggest headaches: ice dams.

On Thursday, the band said Leaneagh was attempting to deal with the ice dams on her roof last week when she fell.

"Thankfully she is expected to make a full recovery and is already walking a bit with the help of a very fashionable back brace," the band said.

However, the injury has created a financial burden due to mounting medical bills, need for ongoing childcare and her inability to work for the next four to five months.

The band set up a GoFundMe page so Leaneagh can focus 100 percent on recovering.
