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.
