Buckcherry‘s tour bus was involved in a fatal accident today (Friday, August 21) in South Carolina, USA.
The band and all of their road crew are safe and unharmed, they have confirmed in a statement.
The statement reads: “At approximately 2am Friday morning, Buckcherry’s tour bus was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on I-26 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
“We are extremely grateful to report that all members of Buckcherry and our touring crew are safe and unharmed.
“Tragically, authorities have confirmed that the collision that occurred ahead of our bus resulted in a fatality. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family and loved ones of the person who lost their life.
“Buckcherry’s scheduled performance tomorrow at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is expected to proceed as planned.
“We sincerely appreciate everyone who has reached out with concern and support.”
A statement from South Carolina Highway Patrol says that the person who was killed had exited their vehicle after a crash and was struck by another car.
The tour bus was seemingly involved in the aftermath, when a number of vehicles collided.
Buckcherry are on the road in support of their latest album, 2025’s Roar Like Thunder, which Classic Rock described as full of catchy “bottle-rocket earworms”.
