The guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr has been involved in what is being described as a high speed police chase whilst he was leaving Texas on January 20th.
He was in the middle of a tour promoting his debut solo album 'Yours to Keep', and reportedly relaxing in the 'lounge' area of his tour bus when it came skidding to a halt after colliding with another vehicle.
The information came from a bulletin posted on Hammond's Myspace page, reading:
"It turned out that the cops had been chasing a suspect in a pickup truck in a high speed chase a la OJ Simpson since the Texas state border. It seemed that the pickup was going to get away until he came into contact with youknowwho.
"It appeared that since our trailer has such a wide load-though sadly no such bumper sticker yet-we proved an obstacle passed which no mere pickup truck could speed ahead! But those crazy criminals will do anything to get a laugh, won't they.
"Those knuckleheads smashed into our trailer and spun out of control, crashing into the side ramp, and awaited their vacation in the Texas State Penitentiary . Book 'em, boys!"
Shame it wasn't the New York City Cops that arrested them, that would have made a good headline!
