Muna Safe After Tour Bus Fire

The Gets So Hot Tour may have gotten a little too hot. Muna appeared on Los Angeles’ KTLA 5 local news network today after their tour bus caught fire in Burbank, California. The band have since confirmed that no one was injured, writing in an Instagram post, “many personal items were lost but we’re all safe, thank goodness ❤️‍🩹.”

In a comment under the post, Muna’s Naomi McPherson added, “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 & fulfill the prophecy / undo the curse that has befallen me that would be much appreciated.” McPherson was absent from several of the band’s shows last month as they cared for their mother, who was suffering from terminal cancer.

As of writing, Muna’s Gets So Hot Tour will proceed as planned, with their next performance set for Wednesday, October 21 at Red Rocks.
