Drake White is in the news today after his tour bus had an unfortunate encounter with the asphalt at 2:30 AM, leading to the cancellation of his Albany concert. Thankfully, the band and crew emerged unscathed, but the driver wasn’t as lucky, landing in the hospital with injuries. Drake’s got a lot on his plate but impressively, he’s already set to hit the stage in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and Hampton, New Hampshire, this weekend. Talk about resilience!
In his message to fans, Drake showed his appreciation while also asking for positive vibes for the bus driver. It’s heartening to see artists like White prioritize the well-being of their team amid the chaos—certainly, not every singer would make such a gracious gesture. The road can be a wild ride, and this incident is just another reminder of how unpredictable life on tour can be.
White’s “Keep It Movin’ Tour” rolls on with dates planned through December, and he’s also gearing up for the second Benefit For The Brain charity concert. With all his advocacy work, it’s tough to think of a better way to use his platform. But hey, with all this ups and downs, maybe he should consider writing a new song titled “Roadside Concerts” when he’s back on the pavement.
