Kim Dracula‘s tour bus caught fire over the weekend amid the band’s tour with Ice Nine Kills, Dayseeker and The Funeral Portrait. A statement shared on social media yesterday, August 24th, outlined the situation, with Kim Dracula stating:
“At 6AM this morning our bus caught fire while we were sleeping. I was in the back behind a locked door and was woken up by my crew screaming and banging on the door telling me to get off the bus. We all got off immediately and within 30 seconds the entire bus was engulfed in flames, starting right where I was laying down.
Most of us lost all our possessions, including things we needed for the show. As such, we were unable to perform tonight and will not be able to perform tomorrow.
We hope to be back on the road supporting Ice Nine Kills starting in Madison, WI. I am sorry to any of you who were looking forward to seeing us perform. I was unable to make this post any earlier as I lost my phone in the fire. Everyone in the crew is safe however, including myself. We look forward to jumping back in soon”
