Opeth have been involved in bus crash, according to Bravewords.com. Vocalist Mikael Akerfeldt has issued the following statement:
“Myself, Axe, Fredrik and our soundman, Pontus Norgren decided to fly home to our families for a few days as the option would have been 3 days off in Brussels.
Now I hear that our bus apparently crashed into this other car making a unexpected U-turn in the middle of the highway. Mendez and Per were on the bus together with the rest of our crew but nobody got hurt. They are however shocked and very shaken of course. The driver in the other car was critically injured. I’ve not heard back from anyone yet regarding his progress but apparently it’s not looking very good. Hoping for the best however.
I don’t know where or when this happened but I know the bus was heading from Dublin to Brussels.”
