The incident occurred after the group’s performance in Sherbrooke, Quebec, the site of the band’s first of three scheduled shows in the country.
“While traveling across Canada yesterday, something flew out of the vehicle in front of us and got stuck under one of our SUVs, catching fire. Everyone got out safely, but luggage, passports, laptops and almost everything else was destroyed.”

Photos released by the production show that the vehicle was completely destroyed.
Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman, the group’s guitarist, also spoke about the incident and shared a video in which the car appears on fire in the middle of the road.
“No one was injured. Everyone exited the vehicle unharmed. Unfortunately, about half of our crew lost their belongings in the fire, including their suitcases, computers and passports. But it could have been much worse,” Noodles wrote.
“The band and I are grateful and relieved that everyone involved is safe. No one knows exactly what started the fire yet, but something large and heavy hit the SUV, probably a loose trailer hitch, and within seconds the vehicle was ablaze.”
In the text, the guitarist still claims that there was no time for the team to get the car off the road and stop on the side of the road.
“Our entire team works hard to make us look and sound our best when we appear on stage. Their journey and work day is always longer and more difficult than ours, and we can’t thank them enough for everything they do. Watch them have to go going through something like this is heartbreaking and scary. I’m so glad they’re all okay.”
