Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale Opens Up About Their Tour Bus Catching On Fire

Halestorm's Lzzy Hale has opened up about their tour bus catching on fire on Thursday morning (January 20th). In a radio interview, she said, “It happened at three a.m. Nobody was on the bus. It was a very emotional day yesterday.”

She continued, “I'm either crying or I was just laughing hysterically at it all and sometimes a combination of the two. Just because it could have gone so left in many ways. It's kind of like we dodged a bullet.”

As to what caused the fire, Lzzy said, “The investigator said it was something electrical — like in the walls or something. It basically started where mine and Josh's Smith, bass bunk would have been, which is kind of like mid-bunk hall. And it was just crazy 'cause the whole day I kept telling Arejay Hale, HALESTORM drummer and Lzzy's brother, 'cause Arejay and I kind of notorious bunk sleepers, even when we have days off — something with hotel rooms, I have trouble sleeping.”

She added, “And for some reason, that day Arejay was, like, 'I'm just gonna do something in the room 'cause I wanna work out.' And I'm, like, 'You know what? I'm just gonna have a bed to myself' or whatever. And it's just nuts because our amazing security guy ended up literally busting in with a fire extinguisher from the hotel but could not get back to the bunk hall,” she continued. “It was just… According to everybody at the fire department, it was 15-foot flames. So everything was charred. I've lost a lot of things, which is why I'm actually talking to you on my phone instead of my iPad right now. But we're just lucky it's only stuff. It's just stuff, and we're all together, which is great.”
