ROSS THE BOSS Vocalist Seriously Injured In Early Morning Car Wreck

December 8, 2010

While driving throughout the winter, watch out for black ice! It's advice ROSS THE BOSS vocalist Patrick Fuchs wishes he had heeded as he drove on the Autobahn after departing a Kaiser Slautern, Germany recording studio on Wednesday morning. Neither speeding, nor under the influence, Fuchs hit a patch of ice on a sharp turn and lost control of his car, flipping it over and totaling it. When first viewing photos of the horrific wreck at, Fuchs bandmates breathed a deep sigh of relief, realizing their singer could have, should have, been in worse shape, or even dead.

Fuchs remains hospitalized in serious condition with broken ribs and a punctured spleen, but hopes to be released soon.

The band has been celebrating the success of its recently released second effort, "Hailstorm", which includes the now ironically titled "Dead Man's Curve".

Fuchs will be fully healed and ready to get back into action when the band begins its spring and summer European festival tour.

For updates regarding Fuchs' condition, soon-to-be-announced tour dates and other band-related news, check out the band’s brand-spanking-new web site.
