Tori Amos says she’s on the mend after an unexpected encounter with wildlife in Europe. The singer-songwriter revealed on Instagram Wednesday that her tour bus had nearly crashed into a large moose as she and her entourage were traveling from Denmark to Sweden. After crediting her “amazing driver” Chris for dodging “what could have been a horrible accident,” Amos said she’d sustained a minor injury. “Unfortunately yours truly happened to have just stood up to head to my bunk when the Moose appeared…. and I was thrown against the ledge in the bus lounge resulting in me slamming the side of my face,” she wrote, noting that she was left with a visible mark. “So for the next week or so if it looks like I have gone a few rounds with Ronda Rousey, now you will know why… shows will go on as normal…” she added. By Thursday afternoon, Amos’ post had drawn a plethora of well-wishes from fans. “Sorry for our Swedish welcome!” one person wrote. “thank goodness you’re all in one piece.” Added another, “I know you’re a strong road dog touring this world. Please do whatever you need to to take care of yourself.” Amos, a nine-time Grammy nominee, is currently touring Europe in support of her 18th studio album, “In Times of Dragons.” The album’s 17 tracks take loose inspiration from America’s sociopolitical climate, as viewed through what one critic described as a “deeply personal and mythologically expansive” lens. One track, “Ode to Minnesota,” was written after the fatal shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents earlier this year. “Nobody needed me when the Obamas were around. Let’s not kid each other,” she told Paste magazine last month.
