Weezer have decided not to cancel a gig in Alabama after the state was hit by a series of tornadoes, and they've vowed to bring "love and rock" to the area.
Storms swept across six Southern states over a 24-hour period, beginning on Wednesday, and the worst damage occurred in Alabama, where more than 200 people died.
Weezer are due to play Friday in Birmingham at the Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil.

In a post on his Twitter page, Weezer bassist Scott Shriner writes, "Man my heart goes out to the family's in Birmingham. Can't believe we're going there. Alright, time to bring the love and the rock.
"My heart and prayers go out to the people and family's that have suffered injury and loss in Tuscaloosa. Sending love."
Meanwhile, frontman Rivers Cuomo appeared nervous about venturing into the hardest-hit state, tweeting on Thursday, "Boarding a plane 4 Alabama. Said goodbye 2 my family."
