Travis Barker settles plane crash lawsuit

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 12/9/09 @ 11:08 AM - altpress.com

The lawsuit filed by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker against companies involved in his Sept. 2008 plane crash has been settled. In Nov. 2008, Barker sued Learjet--the makers of the airplane--along with the plane's owners and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. claiming that the companies improperly maintained the plane. The accident killed everyone on board except for Barker and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, who has since died of a drug overdose.

A lawyer for the defendants, William L. Robinson, confirmed that the case had been settled and that the details are confidential.

Underoath crew in van accident; driver injured

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 12/8/09 @ 3:04 PM - altpress.com

In what is becoming a pretty awful week for touring bands, Underoath were involved in a van accident while driving to their show in Omaha tonight. The band, traveling in a bus, are fine, but as the band explain on their blog, "Our van carrying all our gear got into a very bad accident. The driver has some injuries, but is stable. However there is no possible way we can make the show tonight. Please pray for our friend Zack that was driving. He's in pain but he survived which is honestly a miracle if you would have seen the van."

You can see pictures of the wrecked van here and here. While tonight's show in Omaha is canceled, the tour is currently expected to resume in Lawrence, Kansas, tomorrow (dates). If that changes, we'll let you know.
