A tour bus transporting members of MUNA caught fire on a motorway in Burbank, California, on Monday.
Local news channel KTLA filmed the incident, reporting that the fire had forced the closure of several lanes on the busy highway.
According to the outlet, the driver was unaware that the vehicle had caught fire. The California Highway Patrol received a report of a bus ablaze on the southbound freeway at 8 am. The vehicle eventually stopped on an off-ramp, where firefighters from the Burbank Fire Department extinguished the flames.
MUNA posted an image from KTLA's report on social media, accompanied by the caption, "The band MUNA as seen on the news this morning."
The band also confirmed that "many personal items were lost, but we're all safe, thank goodness".
Responding in the comments, band member Naomi McPherson wrote, "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."
In September, the indie pop and synth-pop group revealed that McPherson, who performs on guitar and synths and also sings, would be absent from several tour dates to care for their mother, Harriet, who was nearing the end of her battle with cancer.
McPherson has since returned to touring, according to Billboard, joining the Gets So Hot Tour, which began on 25 September. MUNA are scheduled to travel to Europe in November for a month of live shows.
