Lee Brice
and members of his band escaped injury Saturday (Jan. 21) when
their tour bus caught on fire while parked outside
Toby Keith's Bar and
Grill in Mesa, Ariz. Brice was sleeping when the fire began, he told KNXV-TV in Phoenix. "We had to run off, and within a
couple of minutes, it was in flames," he said. "The whole back of the lounge was apparently burned through." He and his band
lost part of their wardrobe in the blaze, but firefighters were able to remove luggage and equipment from inside the bus.
Brice is scheduled to be in Nashville for a Monday afternoon (Jan. 23) party celebrating the success of
"Crazy
Girl," the
Eli Young Band's No. 1 hit he wrote with Liz Rose. Brice
will resume touring with a Wednesday night concert in Athens, Ohio.
