Rock legend Jeff Beck has insured his fingers for £700,000 each after hacking off the tip of one digit.
The guitar hero, 65, had his gruesome mishap as he sliced carrots at his Sussex home.
Surgeons sewed the tip of his left index finger back on but it meant he struggled to finish his new album Emotion and Commotion.

So he has now raised his insurance cover on his hands five-fold - making his 10 digits worth £7million.
A source close to the former Yardbirds star said: "Jeff was making a stew when he cut his finger clean off.
"Thankfully surgeons were able to patch it up. But now he's taking no chances and has upped his insurance to $1million per finger."
Other stars insured for huge sums are Mariah Carey and J.Lo, for £650million each, Irish dancer Michael Flatley, with £25million legs, Bruce Springsteen's voice (£3.5million) and Heidi Klum's legs (£1.2million).
