Brooke Vega is the lead singer of a locally famous band called Bikini, which Shooting Star was planning to open for on the day of the accident. At Adam’s request, Brooke and her band come to the hospital to stage an impromptu show as a form of distraction while Adam and Kim attempt to get into Mia’s hospital room to see her. Though the distraction doesn’t work too well, it is a testament to how much Adam and his band care about Mia that they were able to convince a rock star to risk getting arrested on her behalf.
