Jurassic 5 Bus Crashes
Jurassic 5 rapper Chali 2na suffered a skull fracture when a tour bus carrying the band crashed near Nashville on August 1 en route a Vans Warped Tour stop in Houston.
An Interscope spokesperson told Pollstar that Chali underwent surgery and is still hospitalized in Nashville, but is expected to make a full recovery. Jurassic 5 members Marc 7even and Akil were also treated at a hospital and released.
The crash forced the Los Angeles hip-hop collective to drop off the remaining four dates of the Warped caravan.
It’s been a cruel summer for the group, fresh off the release of its debut full-length album, Quality Control.
Jurassic 5 was to have been an opener on the Rhyme & Reason 2000 tour featuring Rage Against The Machine and the Beastie Boys, but that tour has been postponed while Beastie Boy Mike D recovers from a shoulder injury.
