Pale Waves have said they thought they were "going to die" during their recent bus crash on tour.

The goth-pop group were involved in a road accident while travelling to Berlin last week, but confirmed at the time nobody was seriously injured.

They had been due to support pop singer Halsey, but were forced to cancel that and several other performances.

Opening up about the incident on Instagram, drummer Ciara Doran wrote "this will stay with me forever".

"I know I've kept quiet about what exactly happened, it's been taxing both mentally and physically and I still cannot wrap my head around it," posted Doran, alongside images of the aftermath of the incident, including one of the burned-out overturned vehicle.
