    Ash were involved in a serious road accident while on tour in the U.S. With Moby and David Bowie.

    The accident happened while Ash were driving overnight from Seattle to Detroit over the weekend. The band’s tour bus swerved to avoid a shredded tyre that flew off a truck they were overtaking and the driver only just managed to prevent the vehicle from overturning. The band, who were all asleep at the time, were thrown from their bunks (along with all of their luggage) and some injuries were sustained.

    Drummer Rick McMurray has several broken ribs, while guitarist Charlotte Hatherley’s suspected broken arm has thankfully been given the all-clear. Singer Tim Wheeler and bassist Mark Hamilton and the band’s crew thankfully avoided any damage. Rick’s injuries have put in serious doubt the band’s performance at the Reading Festival this weekend.

    Ash are still fully intent on returning to the U.S. at the end of this month to start on a brand new tour with Coldplay.
