Tori Amos has shared that she is recovering after a close encounter with wildlife in Europe. The acclaimed singer-songwriter took to Instagram on Wednesday to recount how her tour bus narrowly avoided colliding with a large moose while traveling from Denmark to Sweden. Amos credited her driver, Chris, for preventing what could have been a catastrophic accident, but noted that she sustained a minor injury during the incident.
Details of the Incident
In her post, Amos explained that she had just stood up to head to her bunk when the moose appeared. She was thrown against a ledge in the bus lounge, resulting in her slamming the side of her face. The artist humorously remarked that if she looks like she has gone a few rounds with Ronda Rousey for the next week or so, now her fans will know why. She assured everyone that her shows will proceed as normal.
Fan Reactions
By Thursday afternoon, Amos had received an outpouring of support from fans. One commenter apologized for the Swedish welcome, while another expressed relief that everyone was safe. Many encouraged her to take care of herself and praised her resilience as a touring artist.
Current Tour and Album
Amos, a nine-time Grammy nominee, is currently touring Europe in support of her 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons. The album features 17 tracks loosely inspired by America's sociopolitical climate, described by one critic as deeply personal and mythologically expansive. One song, 'Ode to Minnesota,' was written after the fatal shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents earlier this year. In a recent interview with Paste magazine, Amos remarked on the political climate, stating that nobody needed her when the Obamas were around.
Despite the injury, Amos remains committed to her tour, promising that the show will go on. Fans can expect her to deliver powerful performances as she continues her European journey.
