Singer Twin Shadow in serious accident

THE singer and producer Twin Shadow on Monday called off a month of shows after a tour bus accident left two people seriously injured.
The New York-based musician, known for his style of 1980s-like New Wave pop with touches of R&B, said he was traveling Friday when his bus hit a tractor-trailer in Aurora, Colorado.
All 12 people on the bus were taken to hospitals and two of them – drummer Andy Bauer and driver John Crawford – remain in serious condition, Twin Shadow said in a statement.
Twin Shadow – who was born in the Dominican Republic and whose real name is George Lewis Jr – will undergo reconstructive surgery on his hand.
The artist canceled a month of shows scheduled in North America, Europe and Israel. He is scheduled to resume his tour on May 23 in Paris.
It is not the first accident for Twin Shadow. His second album, "Confess," was inspired by a motorcycle crash that made him reflect on his role in the world.
Twin Shadow came to prominence after Chris Taylor from the indie rock band Grizzly Bear discovered his music and produced his first album.
Twin Shadow has also reached a larger audience through a remix for Lady Gaga and his music for the "Grand Theft Auto V" video game. – AFP
