What happened to Beck?

In 2005 Beck suffered a spinal cord injury while filming the music video for his song “E-Pro.” The video shoot required him to wear a harness while dancing inside a moving wheel to make it appear that he was floating in space. Although he continued to record music and release albums, his ability to perform was hampered. For a while he quit touring, and he later told Rolling Stone magazine that his vocals and guitar-playing were also affected. Beck fully returned in 2014 with Morning Phase, which won the Grammy Awards for best rock album and album of the year.
