Life on the road can be hard – groupies, bad grub and as the The Kills recently discovered, Grand Theft Auto. According to a statement released through their record label – Domino – The UK duo announced that their Bus Driver and Tour Bus have gone missing mid tour with Jack White’s band The Raconteurs. The Kills had this to say this about the situation which seems all too ‘Spinal Tap’ for reality:
“While on tour in the United States with the Raconteurs, our bus and driver have vanished. It is thought that the driver has committed grand theft auto or that he is in some kind of trouble….His phone has been off since that afternoon.”
“Federal investigators and police are searching for the bus and driver through out the U.S. and Mexico. We are currently traveling to Nashville and have no luggage or belongings. But aside from this bad luck, touring with the Raconteurs has been great, so we’re in good spirits. The magnitude of the loss hasn’t quite sunk in to our shell shocked bones. If anyone has seen a black Prevost tour bus with Tennessee plates 0305 EA, call the police.”
Crimes in the name of rock n roll – I love it.
