Fire Destroyed Neal McCoy's Tour Bus on Saturday, but He Performed That Night

A fire broke out on NEAL MCCOY's tour bus Saturday morning on a highway near Mansfield, Louisiana.  He was able to get OFF the bus in time, and no one was hurt.  Unfortunately, the bus was totaled. 

 

 

He went live on Facebook around 6:30 A.M. while it was STILL up in flames.  You can tell he's shaken up, who wouldn't be.  He was mostly getting the word out that everyone was okay.  He also grieved a little for the bus, which he called "Old Glory."

 

Here's the live video ** Warning - there are profanities in the background chatter.

 

He posted a second video a little later and this time he did his famous daily Pledge of Allegiance.  He was joined by first responders and others.  It was his 1,493rd consecutive day of doing it.  That's four years and about a month.

 

 

Despite the chaos he still did his show on Saturday in Alexandria, Louisiana.
