THE BEAST

According to   TMZ ,   TOOL   drummer   Danny Carey   was arrested at the airport in Kansas City after allegedly getting into a fight he got in with someone inside the terminal.

Law enforcement sources tell the site airport police responded Sunday night (December 12) to a report of a disturbance between two men. When they got to the scene, they arrested   Carey   and transported him to a nearby police station. The 60-year-old musician was booked for misdemeanor assault and was released on bond. The police report is being forwarded to prosecutors for review, and potential charges will follow.

A spokesperson for the   Kansas City Aviation Department   told   Rolling Stone : "Regarding the request for body and dash cam video, our police force does not have this technology. The police report has been forwarded to the prosecutor's office for review."

Carey 's arrest comes one day after he performed the   Jimi Hendrix   song   "Fire"   at the University of Kansas vs. the University of Missouri men's basketball game in Lawrence, Kansas.

Starting as a jazz drummer,   Carey   joined   TOOL   after connecting with singer   Maynard James Keenan   and guitarist   Adam Jones   and practicing with them in place of drummers the two had requested but who had never shown up.

When not performing with   TOOL ,   Danny   plays in intimate club settings, participates in drum clinics and takes part in jamming parties with his drum heroes. He is currently a member of   THE DOUG WEBB ALL STARS ,   LEGENDS OF THE SEAGULLMEN   and   VOLTO .

TOOL   formed in 1990 and has released five studio albums thus far:   "Undertow"   (1993),   "Ænima"   (1996),   "Lateralus"   (2001),   "10,000 Days"   (2006) and   "Fear Inoculum"   (2019); two EPs:   "72826"   (1991) and   "Opiate"   (1992); and the limited-edition boxset,   "Salival"   (2000). The band has won four   Grammy Awards : Best Metal Performance (1998,   "Ænima" ), "Best Metal Performance" (2002,   "Schism" ), "Best Recording Package" (2007,   "10,000 Days" ) and "Best Metal Performance" (2020,   "7empest" ).
