Tokio Hotel Drummer Really Embracing The Rock And Roll Lifestyle

Tokio Hotel, the “famous on the Internet” band of German mope-rockers, have had a clean-cut image… until now, anyway. No, pretty boy singer Bill Kaulitz hasn’t revealed that he’s actually an animatronic Real Doll: The drummer, Gustav Schafer (he’s the one on the left), went on something of a driving spree in Germany yeterday, crossing lanes and crashing into trams in a blaze of… well, something:

The 20-year-old musician was in his BMW 3-Series on Tuesday afternoon in the German city of Magdeburg when the accident happened. He reportedly overtook a line of traffic and drove straight over tram tracks which had been blocked off. His car was then hit by an oncoming tram, skidded into the right lane of traffic and hit two further cars.

There were two passengers in the car–both of whom were nine years older than our hero!–and luckily everyone escaped with only minor injuries. But! Schafer may still be brought up on “bodily harm due to negligence” charges. I don’t know if that’ll get him time in the pokey, but I do know that the chase, as described, will make an awesome opening to the VH1 movie about their descent into hedonism that’ll no doubt air in 2016.
