Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary Levox is counting his blessings after his tour bus went up in flames Saturday morning (Jan. 6).

Levox was on his way to Louisiana for a hunting trip with his brother when the bus caught fire. Luckily, it appears no one was hurt, but as the singer detailed in his Instagram post, there could have been a much more horrific outcome.


“My bus caught on fire this mornin on my way to a hunting trip,” Levox wrote on Instagram, along with a video of the fire. “My brother Kevin and I got out. It happened so quick and could have been a different story if the ammunition would have caught fire. What a way to start 2018. Thank you lord for your covering this mornin!”

He later shared a photo of his hunting gear on the side of the road next his tour bus. “Not where I was wanting to watch the sunrise,” he captioned the snap.

Levox will have plenty of time to hunt for a new bus before he and his bandmates return to the stage. Rascal Flatts’ next scheduled tour date is set for February 14 at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.
