Janet Weiss In Car Crash, Quasi Tour Cancelled

"I am lucky my injuries will heal..."

It's been an eventful few months for Janet Weiss, to say the least.

The drummer departed from Sleater-Kinney, citing the direction of their incoming album as a factor.

Taking her band Quasi back out on the road – coincidentally at the same time at Sleater-Kinney were plotting their own tour – her thoughts became the source of much fan speculation.

Now she's been involved in a car crash. Tweeting to fans, Janet Weiss re-assured them, saying she was receiving treatment following the incident.

She wrote: "As thoroughly bummed as I am about canceling the shows, I’m also incredibly thankful the accident wasn't worse and so happy to be alive."

Janet Weiss continued: "I am lucky my injuries will heal and I’ll be back at it in a couple months. Hug your people and tell them you love them."
