Another sad story coming today from the ongoing Warped Tour, Arizona's While We're Up were following the tour from the Chicago, IL date to one in Shakopee, MN when the rear right wheel of the car exploded. The driver lost control of the vehicle and it rolled on the highway. Guitarist/vocalist Zach Booher was killed instantly and the other two passengers - Steven Rouk and Trevor McCoy - were airlifted to nearby hospital.

The band said this:

No one can speak in words the tragedy of losing Zach. He was not only an amazing musician in While We're Up, but he was also an irreplaceable friend to countless numbers of people

The band wasn't playing Warped but following the tour to help promote their new act and 2011's independent debut Every Moment. For some of their happier Warped memories, you can check a recent tour blog entry.
