After much speculation and concern from fans and recording artists alike, Hillary Scott of the band Lady Antebellum is coming forward with a response to the tour bus fire, which occurred Thursday.
Reported by Billboard, Hillary wrote: “Hey guys, we had a crazy morning on the way to Dallas today. She went on to say, “Our bus tire caught on fire and we had to evacuate very quickly. EVERYONE IS SAFE AND SOUND. It was me, my husband, our tour manager, and driver. Thanking God for our safety and the safety of all those who helped put this fire out and keep us safe. Love you all!!!!”
Friends, family and fans are relieved that the beloved country music stars have escaped unscathed from what could have been a disastrous occurrence for members of the band and those aiding in the band’s success and performances.
The local NBC affiliate NBCDFW wrote that Hillary Scott and crew were headed from Nashville to Dallas for the American Country Music Awards at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, when the fire occurred.
As reported by NBCDFW in Fort Worth, Hillary posted a moving message on her Facebook page. It goes like this: “I just got this picture from the scene of the fire and HAD to share this. Today, when our bus caught on fire we had quite a few personal belongings in the back (where I was asleep before evacuating the bus) one of them being my Bible. I kid you not, EVERYTHING in the back lounge was destroyed from the flames, except my Bible. The outside cover was burned and messed up but NOT ONE PAGE was missing. Yall God’s Word will always stand. He is FOR YOU, WILL PROTECT YOU, AND HIS LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER FADE. My faith is forever deepened because of today. I hope this story deepens yours.”
