The Weezer camp has posted an update about frontman Rivers' recovery following the bus crash he was in at the weekend."Rivers has had a much better day than yesterday," it reads. "He went from being barely able to talk and open his eyes yesterday to partially sitting up, talking clearly, reading books and checking the internet, plus his color and energy seemed much brighter."
"Rivers' internal injuries included both a small cut on his spleen and a small puncture in his lung. An internal cut needs to be carefully monitored to see if it is healing up or not. The lung puncture was small so the lung did not fully collapse, and thus no surgery was needed for that, but it also has to be monitored carefully to avoid fluid build up. Today the doctor announced that Rivers blood pressure had stabilized, meaning the spleen was no longer leaking - it was on the mend. And his lung seemed to be gaining strength and holding up, meaning it too looks like it will mend itself with time."
"Tomorrow the doctor says it will be time to see if Rivers can stand up again. If that goes well and his vital signs remain stable and improving, he will get to go home pretty soon! Wish him well - your positive energy and thoughts are working so far!"
The crash happened near Albany, in the States, when the bus he was travelling in hit some ice and skidded into a ravine. His assistant was also injured, but is recovering at home. We'd make a joke about the 'checking the internet' line (phew!) but, y'know, he can now check the internet and might see it. Get well soon Rivers!
