Weezer Crash Details

As it was reported, Weezer’s tour bus was in a crash accident due to slipping on an ice patch last week. The band’s lead singer Rivers Cuomo was taken to the hospital after complaining of rib pain. It has recently been revealed that Rivers sustained three cracked ribs. His assistant Sarah also fractured two ribs and a lower vertebrae. No one else was harmed in the accident, including Rivers’ wife and daughter. The rest of the band’s December tour dates have been cancelled while Rivers recuperates from his injury. I wish Rivers and his assistant a speedy recovery. I’m glad that the injuries weren’t much worse.

Blink 182 Cancels More Shows

Blink 182 has cancelled a couple more shows with their touring partners Weezer and Taking Back Sunday as the band continues to mourn the loss of their friend, DJ AM. A representative for Weezer revealed that the concert in Cleveland last week was cancelled while, for Thursday’s St. Louis show, Taking Back Sunday guitarist Eddie Reyes went on Twitter to say that he was in his home state and that he wouldn’t be getting back to the tour until the weekend. I know how important it is to have a time to grieve but Blink 182 also needs to take care of their fans. I hope they already have plans for a refund or to reschedule the shows.
