in a post on Instagram, they revealed that the bus caught fire at around 6am while they and their crew were asleep. They were in the back behind a locked door and said they were woken up by their crew “screaming and banging the door telling me to get off the bus”.
“We all got off immediately and within 30 seconds the entire bus was engulfed in flames, starting right where I was laying down,” they wrote. They added that they had to cancel two shows after most of the people on the bus lost all their possessions in the fire, including “things we needed for the show”.
