British Sea Power had to cancel a gig in High Wycombe after the bass player hurt himself falling out of a tree.
Hamilton was collecting branches to decorate the stage when he inadvertently sawed through the branch he was holding on to, reports NME.com.
He suffered a sprained wrist and the band were forced to cancel their show at Buckinghamshire Chiltern's Student Union.
A spokesperson for the band said: "The BSP man had skillfully scaled a Copper Beech to selectively prune a few branches for the purposes of stage decoration.
"The accident occurred when, in Harold Lloyd style, the boss man sawed through the branch he was hanging onto. The fall resulted in a badly-sprained wrist, which made playing impossible."
Support band The Killers still played the concert, winning the crowd over while British Sea Power watched from the wings, added the spokesperson.
Hamilton will have recovered in time to honour the band's forthcoming dates supporting The Strokes next month. For the remainder of the band's headline tour, sound engineer Joe Harling will stand in on bass.
