Weezer Frontman Rivers Cuomo Released From Hospital!

Hey Everyone!

So it has finally been announced that Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has been released from the hospital following the frightening bus crash about a week ago. The singer and the bands manager were the only two injured when the bus hit a patch of ice and swerved off the road, landing in a muddy ditch just off the highway. Rivers stated that he didnt even feel himself leave the couch as he went airborn and likely hit the ceiling, this combined with the rough landing are believed to be the cause of his injuries. He suffered from three broken ribs, a punctured spleen and a punctured lung.

December 11th, he was officially discharged from a New York area hospital. Once he was able to walk without the aid of a cane and his blood tests were coming back with good news of recovery. Rivers opted to spend an extra night of rest in the hospital while awaiting the arrival of his bus. He is unable to fly right now due to the lung injury but the coach will hopefully SAFELY transport him back home to LA where he will continue to recover over the holidays.
