Feeder have escaped with their lives after their tour bus crashed and then exploded in the early hours of yesterday morning (October 25).

The Welsh rock band were travelling on the M62 motorway, after playinga gig at Glasgow Barrowlands, when their bus crashed en route toLincoln, where they are scheduled to play the Engine Shed tonight.

While the incident was severe enough to warrant the motorway's closure, a band spokesperson said Grant Nicholas, Taka Hirose and Mark Richardson all survived the crash without serious injury.

The statement reads: "Everybody is safe. But all the merchandising and catering is destroyed.

"All the crew were left in their pants - JD Sports kindly dressed them all today."

It has also been confirmed that the UK tour, which stretches into November, will continue unaffected.
