Band settles over sewage dumping
The Dave Matthews Band has agreed to pay $200,000 (£105,000) after their tour bus dumped human waste on a boatload of tourists in Chicago. The band's bus dumped the raw sewage while crossing a bridge over the Chicago River in August 2004, directly onto the heads of a cruise organised by The Eagles Fan Club.
