UPDATE: A representative for The Ghost Inside has posted the following statement via the band’s socials:
“Thanks to everyone who reached out with concern today. The Ghost Inside was involved in a serious bus accident outside El Paso, TX this morning. All 5 band members + all members of the crew are alive and currently being treated for their injuries. Please keep them in your thoughts as well as their bus driver and those in the other vehicle who did not make it. Unfortunately, all US shows on the Locals Only Tour are cancelled.

ORIGINAL STORY: In sobering morning news, US news outlets are currently reporting popular hardcore outfit The Ghost Inside have been involved in a “serious” road accident while travelling to Phoenix.
Alt Press observes the early developments, writing:
“Reports are beginning to pour in through Twitter that The Ghost Inside have been involved in a serious bus accident on their way from Texas to Phoenix. It is being said that they collided with a semi truck. According to CBS reporter Lashay Wesley, the accident took place just a few miles East of the U.S. border patrol checkpoint on US 62/180.”
According to the same news report, the band members and tour crew are, thankfully, confirmed “alive and accounted for.”
However, in sad news, similar news stories are also reporting the collision still resulted in fatalities, informing, “Two people were killed in the collision, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman.”

Terrible news, should be all set for the big ASS tour though so looking forward to that
Ummm, I doubt they’ll be doing that tour, champ
Then you don’t know TGI, dude didn’t even go to his old mans funeral so he could play gigs out here a few years back.
I think you need to get some perspective here, young lad
