Unfortunately about half of our crew lost all their belongings in the fire including luggage, computers and passports. I’m much worse, the band and I are so grateful and relieved that everyone involved is doing okay.

“No one is sure what started the fire, but the SUV struck something large and heavy, possibly a lost towbar, and within seconds the vehicle was on fire. You can see from the video that they didn’t even get off the Autobahn before everyone had to get off No time to salvage any belongings Scary shit!

“Our crew does all the hard work to make sure we look and sound our best when we take the stage. They are journeys and workdays that are always longer and more tiring than ours and we cannot thank them enough for all of it to see them having to go through something like this is heartbreaking and scary. I’m so glad they’re all doing well!”
