Representatives for Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy are saying the goth rocker’s blood alcohol level was 0.01 when he was arrested March 16 on suspicion of driving under influence of drugs or alcohol after an alleged hit-and-run collision in Glendale.
According to Murphy’s official Facebook page, the amount of alcohol in his bloodstream was well below the legal limit of 0.08. His representatives alleged that his blood alcohol level of 0.01 was the “lowest amount of alcohol that is able to register on a breathalyzer."
“We cannot say anything more right now as after pleading not guilty to all charges, Peter now must say no more until this matter is resolved,” according to Murphy’s Facebook statement posted Tuesday.
Still, Murphy’s representatives assured fans that his “Mr. Moonlight” tour, which will celebrate Bauhaus’ 35th anniversary, will go on. Murphy plans to kick off his North America and European tour on April 22 in San Antonio, Texas.
