Ryan’s guitarist, Hunter Parody, took to TikTok to share video of the bus engulfed in flames and firefighters battling the blaze.

@hunterparody YOURE MY BOY BLUE! Old School was the last movie I watched in the bus. Blue was more than a bus. Blue was our friend and he shall always be remembered as such. #tourbus #bus #musician #countrymusic #prevost #tourlife #tragedy #fire #mikeryanband #mikeryan #longcut ♬ Oh No – Kreepa
