Singer-guitarist John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants is recovering after being seriously injured in a car crash in New York City.
BIRMINGHAM, AL - JANUARY 30: John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants performs at Iron City on January 30, 2018 in Birmingham, Alabama. – They Might Be Giants singer-guitarist John Flansburgh was seriously injured in a car crash this week while being driven home from the alternative rock band's first gig on a pandemic-delayed tour, prompting the postponement of shows at least until late August.
According to police, the driver who was arrested ran a red light, jumped a curb and plowed into the gate of a housing complex, hitting two cars along the way. Formed in the early 1980s by Flansburgh and John Linnell, They Might Be Giants rose to fame with clever, catchy songs and a not-afraid-to-be-geeky persona. Known for tunes including “Birdhouse in Your Soul,” “Boss of Me” and a version of the quirky 1953 tune “Istanbul ,” the duo went platinum with the 1990 album “Flood.” The new tour is a belated celebration of the disc's 30th anniversary.
