Ash have said they will let fans know tomorrow whether or not they will be able to play their Carling Weekend sets in Reading and Leeds this weekend. Drummer Rick McMurray is still recovering from the bus crash that involved the whole band as they toured the US with Moby’s Area:2 festival. The band’s manager Stephen Taverner has been telling the BBC more about the incident. “The bus was overtaking a truck on a motorway at 0730 local time on Friday when it hit a tyre in the middle of the road,” he says. "The band were thrown out of their bunks on to the floor. That's how Rick got what we suspect is cracked ribs." Despite initial worries, the other band members got away with just cuts and bruises.
