In terribly tragic Miley Cyrus news, a tour bus transporting the singer's crew members was involved in a deadly crash outside Richmond, Va., earlier today.
Cyrus, 16, was not on board, multiple sources have confirmed, and, according to her website. Miley is set to rock the house Sunday in Greensboro, N.C.
"It was one of our tour buses, but not Miley's,” her manager said in response to the crash. "It was one of our buses that transported our lighting crew."
Miley Cyrus was not personally on board the bus.
An investigation is underway to determine exactly why the Miley Cyrus bus - part of a four vehicle caravan - drifted off the road and overturned, claiming a life.
One person, presumed to be the bus driver, died, while nine other people on board, sustained minor injuries. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them.
UPDATE: It is confirmed that the deceased is indeed bus driver Bill Douglas. Miley released a statement on her official site regarding the incident:
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill 'Uncle Bill' Douglas. Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed."

Miley does NOT care and NEVER thinks of anyone else but ONLY herself!! What else is new?

Have you all considered that maybe she's being forced to do the show? That does sometimes happen with child stars because their handlers have all the say. Or maybe she wants to do the show to take her mind off the situation. You guys don't know what's going on so don't even comment.

c'mon guys. she probably didn't even know the guy. like it said, " 'It was one of our tour buses, but not Miley's,” her manager said in response to the crash. "It was one of our buses that transported our lighting crew.' " I'm sure she was upset and enturbulated by this, but she probably didn't know him well, if at all. Plus, she can't just cancel a concert like that. give her a break.
This is very sad news.

She cant just cancel her show like that and upset those thousands of people. Miley most likely never met the bus driver... You guys are just plain ignorant. Idiots...

whoa! it's a tragic thing, losing a life on the road, but keep in mind that her tour employs over 100 personnel. cancelling a show puts everyone out of work, breaks contractual obligations, and ultimately disappoints all the fans. thousands of tickets need to be refunded, much money and fuel are wasted....etc. yes, she could've cancelled the show, but she has legal obligations NOT to, and obligations to all the people on the tour and the fans. so quit blaming miley. it was an accident, and remember the old saying "the show must go on". she did the right thing by not cancelling, and the tour people are banding together to make it happen. grieve for the loss of life- but don't blame miley, and get off your computers and get a life, people! sheesh!

"STUPID PLAIN IGNORANT" above comments-If Miley doesn't know the tour bus driver, then why does she say"Uncle Bill"? Miley just doesn't care someone she knows DIED and Miley COULD CANCEL the show! As, SELF-CENTERED Miley says,"I'm Miley"!!

GREAT comment 6:36-Yeah, and Miley says "members of her tour are like members of her family"! But remember, Miley is a LIAR and ONLY thinks of herself!!

As with any employer...if it's not immediate family you still have to go to work. Why should Miley's position be any different than someone who is not in the public eye? Some folks just like to raise a ruckas and they should be thinking and praying for the man's family at this time.

@me-Miley says he is like immediate family-same thing- and Miley works for herself-she does not have to REPORT for work, like the "normal" us have to, as you say! Miley's "position" is IN the public eye-that's the difference! Why aren't you thinking and praying for the man's family and, better yet, why NOT for the "Uncle Bill"?-the DEAD man?
