  • Country singer Neal McCoy's tour bus caught fire.

  • The singer shared several videos of the accident on Facebook.


Country star Neal McCoy had quite the scare this weekend.

"The Shake" singer took to Facebook live on Saturday morning to share the unfortunate news that his tour bus, Old Glory, quite literally went up in flames. He posted several videos from the site of the accident, which showed the vehicle fully on fire on the side of a road.

"Our bus is burning to the ground," he said. "That is the bus that has taken us a million miles, and it is ugly."

Thankfully, he confirmed several times that no one was injured. "We’re just grateful that everybody’s okay and got out," he said.

His lengthy messages to fans also said that he’s had the bus for 12 to 13 years, and called it their "lifeline."

"This is our lifeline that is going down the drain right here," he said. "That is all our equipment, that is everything we have."

He continued to stream even as the fire department arrived, and while the bus had explosions and “something shooting out the side.” Still, he maintained a pretty sunny attitude for someone going through such a traumatic experience.

"I'm laughing because, there's nothing you can do," he said in a second post. "Ya'll have seen us in that bus for the last time."

Neal didn't let the disaster stop him either, as ABC News reported that he still played a show that same evening. Sending our thoughts to Neal and his team!
