Feeder: 'Driver saved crew's lives'

Feeder has praised the driver who was at the helm of their tour bus when it burst into flames at the weekend.

The group's touring crew were on an overnight journey from Glasgow to Lincoln when driver Colin Campbell saw flames coming from the back of the vehicle.

Campbell immediately pulled onto the hard shoulder and woke those on board. No sooner was everyone safely out of the bus than it exploded into a ball of flames.

Frontman Grant Nicholas told NME: "It's terrifying to think what might have happened, just shocking. We can't praise Colin enough for his quick thinking and action. He saved all their lives.

"We'd also like to thank the police and firefighters who dealt with the situation and of course, JD Sports for their generosity."

The retailer had provided clothes for the crew, whose personal belongings were destroyed in the blaze. Band members were safely sleeping at a hotel in Lincoln when the incident occurred.

The remainder of the band's UK tour is going ahead unaffected.
