A tour bus belonging to MUNA caught fire on a motorway in Burbank, California, on Monday.
The scene was captured on video by the local news station KTLA, which reported that the incident had shut down several lanes on the busy road.
The outlet noted that the driver did not realise the bus was ablaze. The California Highway Patrol received a call at 8 am about a bus on fire on the southbound freeway. After the bus pulled over onto an off-ramp, the Burbank Fire Department managed to extinguish the flames.
MUNA posted a photo from KTLA’s coverage on their social media with the caption, “The band MUNA as seen on the news this morning.”
The group added that “many personal items were lost, but we’re all safe, thank goodness”.
In the comments, 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 has now returned to 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.
