Hard-rockers Halestorm had a lucky escape overnight, emerging unscathed from a bus fire that completely scorched their tour bus.
The band took to social media to share the news that a blaze engulfed the bus in the early hours of the morning in Worcester, MA, completely torching their home on the road. Thankfully the members of the band and the bus driver all emerged from the blaze, unscathed, and ready to roll on to the next show. The same can't be said for the bus though, which as you can see from the band's posts below, is in need of some serious T.L.C.
The band weren't the only ones to have a lucky escape though, as guitarist Joe Huttinger explained on his social media, their guitars survived the blaze as well thanks to some quick thinking!
"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." "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." "While the bus burned, it appears that it won't affect the band's tour plans, as Hottinger concluded his post stating, "The best part is that tonight, we will rock. Looking forward to playing some music and forgetting about things being on fire. See you tonight Worcester!"
The Grammy award-winning hard rockers recently returned to claim their place a the top of the modern hard rock hierarchy blasting back to life with the bloody massive Back From The Dead.
Their first new music from the band since dropping 2018's Vicious, Back From The Dead is a bold and triumphant rallying cry that more than holds its own in the Halestorm pantheon. Powered by Lzzy Hale's grit-infused rock vocal wailing over a big old rockin' riff, Back From The Dead is an inspired return from one of the most celebrated and successful rock bands of the last two decades.
A song this big needs an epic video to accompany it and the Dusten Haney directed video for Back From The Dead more than lives up to the billing. Produced by Revolution Pictures, the clip features Lzzy and the band in a morgue and cemetery, somewhere between life and death. It's an epic watch and perfectly conveys the lyrical message of survival.
As Lzzy explains:
Back From the Dead’ is about survival, not in a physical sense, even though I know we all have been touched by death especially these last few years. This song is personal and written from a mental health perspective. I wanted to give myself and the world a hard rock song we could shout out loud as the gates opened again. I was on the edge of this world getting completely lost in oblivion, but even though it was the harder of two choices, I didn’t just let the darkness and depression in my mind dig me an early grave. I didn’t just sit and let it take me. I’ve erased my name from my headstone, so save your prayers, I’m back! I hope this song, as I pass it on to you, reminds YOU of your strength individually and that you are not alone.”
It's a positive affirmation from a band that has grown from a childhood dream of siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale into a fully realised rock phenomenon that has surpassed a billion streams worldwide.
