A tour bus carrying members of MUNA caught fire on a motorway in Burbank, California, on Monday.
The scene was captured on camera by local news station KTLA, which reported that the incident had shut down several lanes on the busy road.
The outlet reported that the driver had not realised the bus was on fire. The California Highway Patrol took a call at 8 am about a flaming bus on the southbound freeway. After the bus pulled over on an off-ramp, the Burbank Fire Department was able to put out the flames.
MUNA shared a photo from KTLA’s coverage on their social media alongside the caption, “The band MUNA as seen on the news this morning.”
The group shared that “many personal items were lost, but we’re all safe, thank goodness”.
In the comments section, band member Naomi McPherson wrote, “If anyone could help me find the grandchild of the warlock whose curse is wreaking havoc on my life so that I can carry ’em up the mountain and fulfil the prophecy / undo the curse that has befallen me that would be much appreciated.”
Back in September, the indie pop and synth-pop band announced that McPherson, who plays guitar, synths and sings, would miss several tour dates to look after their mother, Harriet, who was in the terminal stages of a cancer battle.
McPherson is now back on the road, Billboard reports, with the Gets So Hot Tour, which kicked off on 25 September. MUNA will head to Europe in November for a month of concerts.
