WEEZER - WEEZER STAR PULLS OUT OF LIVE SHOWS

WEEZER star PATRICK WILSON has pulled out of a string of the band's tour dates - after injuring his knee during a basketball game with JACKASS stuntman JOHNNY KNOXVILLE.
The drummer will be absent from the rockers' line-up until the 23 June (08), when the band are scheduled to tape a live show in Century City, California.
After that performance, Wilson will then undergo laser surgery on his knee.
A message posted on the band's website reads: "A full recovery is expected before the fall play-offs when Weezer hits the road in Japan and the good ol' U.S.A."
