MINNEAPOLIS — The singer for popular Twin Cities band Poliça has been forced off the stage temporarily with a broken back.

Channy Leaneagh suffered the injury while clearing ice dams from her roof, according to a GoFundMe page set up on her behalf by her friends and bandmates.

"Thankfully she is expected to make a full recovery and is already walking a bit with the help of a very fashionable back brace, but the mounting medical bills, need for ongoing childcare, and inability to work or perform for the next four to five months has created quite a financial burden," the band posted on its Facebook page.

Supporters have already come out en masse, and only one day into the GoFundMe campaign, Leaneagh surpassed a $10,000 goal with over $13,300 raised and counting.
