A Melbourne death metal band's lead singer and merchandiser were killed when their mini-bus crashed on the Pacific Highway, north of Coffs Harbour, earlier today.
The Red Shore were on tour with US band All Shall Perish at the time of the accident.
Earlier reports claimed members of All Shall Perish were involved. But a spokeswoman for touring agency Destroy All Lines has confirmed the mini-bus was not carrying the US band.
The Red Shore's lead singer and merchandiser were killed when the driver of the mini-bus lost control of the vehicle near Moonee Beach and crashed into a tree at 7:00am AEDT.
Several others were injured in the crash.
Tributes are pouring in for two men on the band's MySpace page.
All Shall Perish and The Red Shore performed in Brisbane last night and were due to play in Sydney tonight as part of the Christmas Carnage tour.
Police believe fatigue was a factor in the accident.
Destroy All Lines' spokeswoman says they will release more information about the crash this afternoon.
