A pilot has died after a private jet owned by Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil crashed into another plane at an airport in Arizona.

Neil was not on board at the time of the collision, which happened off the runway at Scottsdale Airport on Monday afternoon.

Neil’s girlfriend Rain Andreani and her friend suffered injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.

They were taken to hospital with the jet’s co-pilot, who was also injured.

“While details are still emerging, our hearts go out to the families of both the pilot who lost his life and the passengers who suffered injuries,” Motley Crue said in a statement.

“Motley Crue will announce a way to help support the family of the deceased pilot – stand by for an announcement very soon”.

Rain Andreani broke five ribs in the crash and the dogs the women were travelling with survived, TMZ reports.

Neil’s jet was arriving from Austin, Texas, when one of its two sets of landing gears failed.

The Learjet veered off the runway after landing and crashed into a Gulfstream 200 business jet.

Neil’s lawyer said the singer is “grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today”.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the incident was under investigation.

Motley Crue enjoyed major success throughout the 1980s, selling more than 100 million records.

Vince Neil fronted the rock band from their formation in 1981 until he left in 1992.

He later reunited with the band in 1996 and fronted them until they retired in 2015, and again from the band’s 2018 reunion onwards.

Kanye West has been criticised over a TV advert directing people to a website selling a swastika T-shirt during the Super Bowl.

It shows him lying down, telling viewers: “I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth, so once again I had to shoot it on the iPhone… go to Yeezy.com.”

The site now features nothing but a single T-shirt with a swastika on the front – alongside the code “HH-01” – believed to be a reference to “Heil Hitler”.

The advert was shown in the Los Angeles area during the big game, but not nationwide.

It comes after West deactivated his X account after more antisemitic posts last week.

The rapper’s final entry stated: “I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate [X owner] Elon [Musk] for allowing me to vent.

“It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.”

“Love all of you who gave me your energy and attention. To we connect again [sic]. Good afternoon and goodnight.”

West made multiple posts on Friday, including statements such as “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi” – with the Campaign Against Antisemitism calling on Mr Musk to ban him.

The group said the T-shirt listing was another damning example of West’s dangerous prejudice.

“The swastika is the symbol adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis,” it posted.

“It galvanized his followers in the 20th century and continues to threaten and instil fear in those targeted by antisemitism and white supremacy.”

West – also known as Ye – has been suspended from Twitter at least twice before.

In October 2022, his account was restricted over antisemitic comments but he returned the following month. The outcry prompted Adidas to end their lucrative trainer deal.

Two months later, he was locked out again after posts including one appearing to show a swastika inside a Star of David.

Elon Musk, who rebranded Twitter as X in 2023, said at the time the suspension was “for incitement to violence” but the account was back up and running the following summer.

West’s wife, Bianca Censori, also made headlines last week when she wore a fully transparent dress at the Grammy Awards.

The couple posed for several minutes on the red carpet before reportedly being escorted away.

A Bryan Adams concert has been cancelled in Australia due to the risk of sewage backing up into the venue’s toilets.

The singer-songwriter’s performance at the RAC Arena in Perth on Sunday was called off due to a “potential public health risk”.

The city’s water officials said a “large blockage of fat, grease and rags” was causing several “wastewater overflows” at properties near the venue.

Fans will receive an automatic refund for their tickets, but reacted angrily to the late cancellation, with many taking to social media to complain they were already queuing at the 16,000-capacity venue.

Others asked if they would also be reimbursed for money spent on travel, food and accommodation.

The Water Corporation apologised for the “inconvenience” and said in a statement: “People should avoid contact with any pooled water in the area of Wellington Street, Perth, as it may be sewage following a major blockage on a sewer.

“Our crews are working to clear the large blockage of fat, grease and rags, which has caused several wastewater overflows at properties along Wellington Street.

“The Bryan Adams concert at RAC Arena was cancelled due to the risk of sewage backing up within the venue toilets, posing a potential public health risk.”

The concert promoter said the water issue “was unable to be fixed in time” and called the cancellation “bitterly disappointing”.

Frontier Touring added: “The issue, which impacted all of Wellington Street, meant that it was deemed unsafe for patrons to enter RAC Arena.”

In a further blow to fans, the promoter said it would be “unable” to reschedule the concert.

Adams is touring Australia and New Zealand with his So Happy It Hurts Tour and is being supported by James Arthur.
