Last month, a private jet owned by the “Dr. Feelgood” singer was involved in a fatal crash at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona.
Authorities say one person was killed and three others were injured when the landing gear on Neil’s plane failed, causing it to careen off the runway and smash into a bigger jet.
