[quote]The band’s drummer Mick Skelton was seriously injured in the accident at a highway intersection in Streatham, about 2.30pm and was flown to Alfred Hospital where he is in intensive care after surgery.

“With the heaviest of hearts, we share this utterly tragic news,” the band said in a Facebook post.
“While in transit to our show yesterday, our stage tech Shane, and touring drummer, Mick, were involved in an horrific car accident which killed Shane and seriously injured Mick.
“The band is absolutely shattered. We have returned to Melbourne to stay near Mick, who is in ICU, and are rescheduling the rest of this week’s shows.
“No further decisions have been made and we will let everyone know about future shows as soon as we can.
“Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with Shane and Mick’s families in this time.”

Thistlethwayte said Cooper, Skelton and Harris had enjoyed a day off playing golf on Monday.
Cooper and Skelton were travelling with the band’s gear to the next gig when the accident happened.
