Weezer have released their own statement about the bus crash frontman Rivers Cuomo was in at the weekend.Yesterday morning near Albany, the bus he was travelling in with his family and assistants hit some ice and ended up in a ravine: "Everyone on the bus was either terrified or injured or both," reads the statement. "The bus contained Rivers, his wife and daughter, their nanny, and Rivers' assistant Sarah. Both Sarah and Rivers' wife were pitched out of their upper level bunks onto the floor. Somehow Rivers' wife was uninjured, but Sarah sustained two fractured ribs and a fractured lower vertebrae. The baby daughter was in her crib unit and was fine, as was the nanny who was sleeping near the floor in her bunk at the time. However in the back lounge, Rivers was tossed around violently, waking up as he landed back on his mattress. He recalled not hitting anything, but later we learned that he must have, as he cracked three ribs and sustained some mostly minor but very painful internal damage, as well as hurting his lower leg somehow."
"Fast forward to now - Sarah was discharged, Rivers was transported to a larger area hospital where he remains under observation. He is resting about as comfortably as could be expected now, and we were relieved to hear that surgery is unlikely. Hopefully tomorrow the docs will have more info. You don't fool around with internal injury."
As a result of all this, the band's December 'Raditude' tour has been cancelled, due to be rescheduled when possible. To read the full statement, here.
