Metal band Fear Factory escaped their tour bus yesterday morning after it caught on fire in Northamptonshire, England. “We just finished playing a sold-out show in Sheffield, England and we were on our way to London airport to drop someone off,” guitarist Dino Cazares said. “At about 3:30 a.m. the bus driver noticed smoke coming from the back right wheel. He stopped, jumped out and noticed a flame underneath the wheel well. He tried to extinguish it, but the flames were too much.” After about 20-30 minutes the bus was completely covered in flames, however no one was injured. [Blabbermouth]
