Today isn’t the brightest day for OutKast as both members are facing misfortune. Big Boi injured his knee during his performance yesterday. After a visit to the hospital, tour mate Killer Mike snapped the above picture of him on crutches. However, it does not appear that this is a severe injury and he will recover in whole from it. Andre 3000 must cope with a more permanent hardship. His mother, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo, passed away yesterday, just one day after her son’s 38th birthday. Benjamin-Hodo founded and ran The Starlight Camp for underprivileged children out of her husband Pastor Robert Hodo’s church, New Morning Light Missionary Baptist, in Conley, Georgia.
