Weezer cancels tour after Rivers Cuomo hurt in bus crash

Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has three cracked ribs after a bus accident Sunday. The band's remaining tour dates have been canceled while he recuperates.  Dec. 6 outside Albany, NY, the Weezer tour bus hit a patch of ice and went "off the road, plunging about 8-10 vertical feet into a muddy ravine off to the right of the Thruway thus coming to a very abrupt stop ... it did not flip or roll, despite having plowed right over a guardrail, flattening it," according to Weezer's official website.

Rivers Cuomo cracked three ribs in all the violent jostling as the bus went off the road and his assistant Sarah sustained two fractured ribs and a fractured lower vertabrae. Cuomo's wife and baby daughter plus a nanny were also on board the bus, but were not injured.

The website also apologizes to fans for canceling the rest of the "Ratitude" tour and says refund information is forthcoming from the Weezer site and ticketing websites.

That crash sounds like it could've been much worse than it was, so thank God everyone is mostly okay. We wish you a speedy recovery, Rivers and Sarah!
