On their way to a show in California this past Wednesday former Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands guitarist Jake E. Lee and his solo band Red Dragon Cartel narrowly escaped a rather explosive brush with death when their limo caught fire while on I-280 in San Jose.
The fire was reported to be caused by an electrical short which then caused everyone in the Hummer stretch limo to get out to ensure their safety. The fire closed two lanes of the highway while emergency services dealt with the situation for an hour and a half.
The band then addressed the situation via Facebook saying:
“Thanks to the quick action of our driver and a little luck on our side, we are all safe and sound. Thanks to everyone for your concern.”
Later on they further addressed it in a more joking manner saying:
“Tonight’s soundcheck song – Burn!” and “We’re on fire tonight!”
Good thing Lee and his people managed to get out of there ok. It would have been a shame to lose such talent in such an unfortunate way. Furthermore, I'm glad they were able to find some humor in it. I approve in their choice of sound check songs.
