Weezer’s Cuomo Suffers Lung, Spleen Injuries After Crash
UPDATE: Cuomo has just been released from the hospital
One day after a terrifying crash in New York, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo was reported to be “sitting up” and “talking clearly” in his hospital room.
The group’s lead singer and his assistant, Sarah Kim, were both injured in a Saturday morning incident that sent his tour bus down a muddy ravine about 40 miles west of Albany. The bus - also occupied by Rivers’ wife, daughter and nanny - hit a patch of ice before going through a guardrail and traveling an additional 8-10 feet down a slope.

Kim, who was tossed out of her upper bunk, sustained fractures to several ribs and her lower vertebrae. According to a post on the band’s website, she has since been discharged and will need about 3-4 weeks to recover.
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old musician - who has to be rescued from the bus by Jaws of Life - is still being hospitalized for injuries that include “both a small cut on his spleen and a small puncture in his lung.” If Rivers’ vitals continue improvement, and he’s able to stand up, he may be able to go home soon. The other occupants on board the vehicle were not transported.
The remainder of Weezer‘s Raditude dates this month have been canceled.
