MUNA tour bus catches fire on California motorway

A tour bus carrying members of MUNA went up in flames on a motorway in Burbank, California, on Monday. Local news station KTLA filmed the scene and reported that several lanes of the busy road were closed as a result.

According to the outlet, the driver had no idea the bus was on fire. The California Highway Patrol received a call at 8 am about a burning bus on the southbound freeway. Once the vehicle had pulled over on an off-ramp, the Burbank Fire Department extinguished the flames.

The band posted a photo from KTLA's coverage on social media, writing: "The band MUNA as seen on the news this morning." They added that "many personal items were lost, but we're all safe, thank goodness".

In the comments, band member Naomi McPherson joked: "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 group announced that McPherson, who plays guitar and synths and also sings, would sit out several tour dates to care for their mother, Harriet, who was in the terminal stages of a cancer battle.

McPherson has since returned to the road, Billboard reports. The Gets So Hot Tour began on 25 September, and MUNA will head to Europe in November for a month of concerts.
