HOUSTON, March 26 (UPI) -- Tejano star Emilio Navaira reportedly remains in critical condition in a medically induced coma after he crashed his tour bus Sunday in Texas.

The San Antonio Express-News said doctors began gradually raising Navaira's body temperature as they worked Tuesday to minimize the effect of a severe brain injury he sustained when he was thrown through the windshield of the tour bus.

Surgeons had lowered the singer's temperature to 91.5 degrees, and then raised it by one-quarter of a degree per hour, said Jennifer Hart, a spokeswoman for the Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center.

The temperature-adjusting procedure has been shown to help relieve pressure on the brain.

Navaira's manager, Joe Casias, told the Express-News the singer's condition had not changed Tuesday afternoon.

"He had a good night last night," Casias said. "They will check to see how he is reacting, but all the vital signs looked good. Of course, the doctors said he is still in danger, but everything is running as they said it would."

Dr. Alex Valadka, a neurosurgeon treating Navaira, said people with the type of head injury Navaira suffered typically have a 65 percent to 75 percent chance of surviving.

Fleetwood Mac planning to work in 2009

LOS ANGELES, March 26 (UPI) -- Anglo-American rockers Fleetwood Mac plan to work again in 2009.

Guitarist Lindsey Buckingham says the band, which has been dormant since 2004, when it toured to promote its last album, "Say You Will," is "looking at the idea of touring sometime in the first half of 2009." Buckingham also has "a ton of new stuff" that could turn into material for a new Fleetwood Mac album.

He did, however, say that American rocker Sheryl Crow's recent comments that she might join the band were premature.

"I think we were all a little surprised (Crow) was announcing that to the world with such certainty," he says. "Certainly she would be a great addition, but...I don't think anything is written in stone yet."

Buckingham has just released a new concert DVD, "Live at the Bass Performance Hall," from his 2006-07 solo tour promoting the album "Under the Skin." He said he plans to put out another solo album this summer and play some shows of his own before Fleetwood Mac gets active.
