Halestorm has already had a rough time over the last few months with COVID-19 troubles, but it all came to a head with a scary situation in Worcester, MA. Halestorm’s tour bus caught fire and burned overnight while everyone was sleeping. Guitarist Joe Hottinger shared pictures on his Instagram, as well as a reassuring message revealing that nobody was injured in the blaze.
“Old Halestorm had a night for the books. We were all in our hotel rooms last night and we woke up to our bus burning down at 3AM. Fun fun. No one was hurt.”
Hottinger continued, praising the first-responders and fire crew that arrived on scene as well as their security staff.
“The Worcester fire department got there and put the fire out. They were amazing. Our fearless security Steve pulled guitars and luggage out of the bay. We all lost some stuff, but it was just stuff. The investigator doesn’t know what started it, but it began in the bunk hall. What matters is that no one was hurt.”
In the wake of this horrific situation, the show must go on! Hottinger concluded his post stating that the band would still be playing their show tonight in Worcester.
Singer Lzzy Hale spoke on Twitter about the scary situation.
“Thank you to everyone for the well wishes. Like Joe said in his post, we lost some stuff, but so grateful that it was only stuff and no one was sleeping on the bus last night. I’m still shook, and emotions are a bit high today. But looks like the universe is not done with us yet!”
Hale also shared a bit of dark humor regarding the bus fire.
