Weezer frontman, Rivers Cuomo, 40, was on his way to Boston Sunday morning when his bus crashed in upstate New York, leaving him in the hospital.
The band was making their way from Toronto, Ontario to Boston University for a Monday night show at Agganis Arena.
The singer and another passanger were transported to a hospital in Amsterdam, NY after Cuomo complained of rib pain.
The bus crashed just after 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning when the bus’s back wheels lost control after skidding on some black ice, the bus driver told NY State police. The bus crashed into the median on the NY State Thruway before crossing back over the highway, going over the guardrail and landing in a ditch, police said.
Cuomo’s wife, daughter and a fifth passenger were involved in the accident but escaped uninjured.
