Entire Rock Band Dies After Car Accident Near Stockolm


Story out of Stockholm, Sweden:

Five British men, reportedly the members of British indie band Viola Beach and their manager, were killed when their car drove through a barrier and plunged into a canal near Stockholm.

Stockholm Police spokesman Martin Bergholm said that the accident on Saturday afternoon occurred when the men’s hire car crashed through a barrier that was closed to stop vehicles as a drawbridge was opening up ahead. The victims were British and aged between 20 and 35, he said.

The band had played at a Swedish music festival on Friday and was scheduled to open for headline artists Blossoms at a concert in the British city of Guilford on Saturday, but the music venue said in a statement it had to cancel the gig after learning that Viola Beach had been involved in an accident. Cont.
