| 3 Doors Down bassist charged in fatal crash Posted: 21 Apr 2013 09:43 PM PDT NASHVILLE (Reuters) - The bassist for rock band 3 Doors Down has been charged with vehicular homicide by intoxication after he was involved in a crash that killed another driver, Nashville police said on Saturday. The musician, Todd Harrell, 41, of Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, was driving his Cadillac CTS west on Interstate 40 at high speed late on Friday when he clipped a pickup truck, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a statement. The truck went out of control, traveled down an embankment and overturned, police said. Harrell (pic) was charged early on Saturday. Police identified the man killed in the crash as Paul Howard Shoulders Jr., 47. 3 Doors Down gained fame in 2000 with the song Kryptonite. The band's other hit songs include When I'm Gone and It's Not My Time. The band's website said in a statement that the members were "deeply saddened" by Shoulders' death. "Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this difficult time," they said. Police said Shoulders was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the truck. Harrell showed signs of impairment while performing field sobriety tasks and appeared under the influence of an intoxicant, police said. "He acknowledged consuming hard cider and taking prescription Lortab and Xanax," the police statement said. An attorney for Harrell could not be reached for comment. Harrell was taken to Nashville's Metro Jail, which is run by the Davidson County Sheriff's Office. Harrell is also accused of bringing controlled substances into the jail. A search at the booking room by Davidson County Sheriff's deputies uncovered a plastic bag hidden in his sock with eight Xanax pills, 24 Oxycodone pills and four Oxymorphone pills, police said. Harrell remained in jail in lieu of US$100,000 bond, according to jail records. |
| Will.I.Am, Bieber play second fiddle to Rudimental in UK charts Posted: 21 Apr 2013 09:29 PM PDT LONDON (Reuters) - London drum'n'bass quartet Rudimental notched up a second number one in Britain's official singles charts on Sunday, at the expense of global stars Will.i.am and Justin Bieber who had to be content with the number two spot. Rudimental's song Waiting All Night, featuring Ella Eyre, jumped straight to the top spot with 107,000 sales, beating Will.i.am's #ThatPower, a collaboration with Bieber, by 38,000, the Official Charts Company said. Rudimental had achieved their first number one in 2012 with their summer anthem Feel The Love. French electronic duo Daft Punk shot to the number three spot with their new single Get Lucky, which racked up 50,000 sales in just 48 hours after it became available on Friday morning. The track is the first from Daft Punk's hotly awaited album Random Access Memories, which the publicity-savvy duo have been trailing with mysterious teaser clips that have been circulating around social media. The Official Charts Company said the campaign was already paying dividends with the strong performance of Get Lucky. Korean Internet sensation Psy, the man behind the ubiquitous Gangnam Style video clip, leapt up 51 places to reach 10th place with his new song Gentleman. In the albums charts, Canadian crooner Michael Buble's To Be Loved outsold the rest of the top five combined to notch up 121,000 sales and hit the number one spot in its first week. To Be Loved is the follow-up to Buble's festive album Christmas, which has sold 1.8 million copies in Britain since its release in October 2011. |
