Glen, New York, Dec 07, (THAINDIAN NEWS) According to a report that was posted on the highly acclaimed rock band Weezer’s official website, Rivers Cuomo, the front man of the group has reportedly been hospitalized after suffering injuries due to their tour bus accident. 40 year old Cuomo’s injuries has further led the band to cancel their scheduled tour dates.

Sources reveal that the 40-year-old singer also suffered internal damages. Other than Cuomo, the band assistant Sarah Kim also suffered severe injuries to her lower vertebrae. Although the untoward mishap left the singer in tremendous pain and agony, surprisingly Cuomo’s two-year-old daughter and his wife (who were also traveling in the same bus) were left without a scratch.

According to the sources, the accident occurred after 7.30 am on Sunday in upstate New York. The driver of the alleged tour bus reveals that the vehicle apparently skidded as the roadway was mapped with ice, thereby toppling a guard rail and finally crashing in a ditch. Cuomo was apparently sleeping in the bus at the time of the incident. The accident left him trapped inside the bus. Cuomo was later on rescued from the back window of the bus. Sources revealed that the singer wasn’t able to speak due to his injuries that had already crippled him.

Injury to Rivers Cuomo has led the band to cancel its December tour dates. According to the sources, Cuomo has been shifted to a hospital with better facilities and will remain under the supervision of the doctors for some time.
