The rocker revealed on Oct. 14, his tour bus ran off the side of the road in the middle of the night near the Colorado-Wyoming border, then flipped.

He said several members of the crew and band were injured in the crash.

"The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and out of respect for that process and for our driver and his family, we aren't able to share further details at this time," he wrote.

He said after "careful consideration" he realized there wasn't a "viable path" for continuing his "Everybody's Home, Nobody's Happy" tour "and that the focus and priority for my band and crew should be on processing and healing."

Hill shares that the band is working on rescheduling dates, but refunds are also available for those who purchased tickets.

"I can't wait to get back out there with you all," he closed his message. "Thank you for your understanding, compassion, and support during this difficult time."

He added in the caption, "My heart is broken, I'm sorry guys."

A family member of the driver identified him as David "Rollingcloud" Jackson, and wrote on a fundraising page that he suffered a medical emergency while behind the wheel and crossed three lanes of traffic before the bus rolled.

"Thankfully, the band members aboard the bus survived. Tragically David's life was lost," she wrote.

She shared that the family didn't know before his death that he suffered from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and that he was also epileptic.

"He was a huge part of the music industry, a world he loved and was deeply connected to," she said. "Through his work, the miles he traveled, and the people he encountered along the way, David became part of a community that reaches far beyond any one place."

Jackson was a father of four and a grandfather of three.

The family is asking for donations to bring his body back from Wyoming to Minnesota, where he lived.

Hill's followers expressed their sympathy in the comments of his post.

"Thank you for posting," fellow musician Lucy Levinsohn Berman wrote. "Many of us are grieving David 'RollingCloud.' He has been a pillar of the Music community. He personally took my band, along with 2 other bands into his home when we were on tour. He housed and fed us and showed us ultimate kindness. He was one of the real ones. It's so sad his journey ended with your tour. I've followed and enjoyed your work. Glad the rest of your band and crew were able to live to tell. Catch you in Los Angeles. Take care."

Lori Meyers, supervivientes de un ‘indie’ que ya desapareció: “Somos currelas de los festivales”

Alfredo Núñez, Antonio López 'Noni' y Alejandro Méndez, integrantes de Lori Meyers, en la sala El Sol, Madrid, el pasado 21 de octubre.

Contaba en sus redes sociales el líder de Lori Meyers, Antonio López, Noni (Loja, Granada, 45 años), que se habían “cansado de tocar en festivales” y por eso daban el martes 13 de octubre un concierto en la sala El Sol de Madrid para unas 300 personas. El concierto era verdad, pero lo del cansancio era una broma. “Una tontería”, confirmaba él mismo a EL PAÍS en la zona de reservado del mítico local horas antes del recital. Es el primero en 15 años que recuerdan dar en ese formato, es decir, un repertorio completo en una sala de aforo pequeño, cara a cara con su público. En su trayectoria predominan los festivales: más de cien actuaciones en ese tipo de escenarios, del Primavera Sound de 2004 al Benicàssim, Bella Vista o Ebrovisión de este mismo verano. El guitarrista y covocalista, Alejandro Méndez (Granada, 45 años), reconocía tener algo de nervios, “sales de tu zona de confort”, sobre todo en cuanto a cuestiones técnicas. Completa el trío como miembro oficial Alfredo Núñez, batería.

Patti Smith, 50 años después de su debut en España: mística, compromiso, poesía y puro rock and roll

Patti Smith (Chicago, 79 años) llegó a Oviedo el pasado domingo con ese aspecto de chamán de trenzas canosas y la colocaron delante del Hotel de la Reconquista acompañada de la tradicional banda de gaitas. Se han dado durante la historia de los premios curiosas estampas que nunca creeríamos: Serena Williams con los gaiteros, y Joan Manuel Serrat, y Haruki Murakami y, sobre todo, Meryl Streep, que fue la que mejor se lo pasó con los gaiteros, porque se echó un dancing.

Vast Beatles museum, hailed as ‘extraordinary’ by Paul McCartney, to open in Liverpool in 2028

City’s Beatles Story museum to move to 100,000 sq ft new home and official ownership, along with Yellow Submarine makeover of Liverpool’s second-tallest building

Liverpool is to unveil a new 100,000 sq ft visitor attraction about the Beatles, in plans hailed as “extraordinary” by Paul McCartney, and by Andy Burnham as having “the kind of ambition I want to see more of across Britain”.

Opening in 2028, the project is a huge upgrade for the Beatles Story, a museum which opened in Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock in 1990. Ownership will now pass to the Beatles company Apple Corps, making the Beatles Story the band’s first official fan experience in their home city.

Deep Purple: the final solo of an endless war

On August 12, 2026, a moment long thought lost to rock took place: Ritchie Blackmore returned to Deep Purple after 33 years away and decades of fights with his great adversary, the vocalist Ian Gillan. The reunion was brief—just six and a half minutes, the length of the performance of Smoke On the Water, featuring rock’s most famous guitar riff, written by Blackmore. It took place during Deep Purple’s 2026 tour stop in New York. “Historic reunion,” Rolling Stone headlined.

Brett Christophers, economic geographer: ‘In contemporary capitalism, the right to housing does not exist’

Economist Brett Christophers, an expert on investment funds and housing, in Barcelona.

Brett Christophers, 55, has spent years studying the strategies of large corporations. He began by examining big investment banks such as JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. But he soon noticed those names being pushed aside on the agendas of politicians and influencers by investment firms like BlackRock and Blackstone. It was not sudden: for decades they had quietly gained ground, and now control almost every aspect of a citizen’s daily life — the home they live in, the water they wash with, the road or railway they use to get to work, or the hospital they visit for an emergency. That is what Christophers, an economic geographer at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research at Uppsala University (Sweden), has been documenting in multiple studies and, more recently, in books such as Our Lives in Their Portfolios: Why Asset Managers Own the World and Rentier Capitalism: Who Owns the Economy, and Who Pays for It?.
