After the band’s performance on November 16, 2014, in San Antonio, Texas , the band was headed to Tulsa, Oklahoma , for their next performance. They also made a stop in Dallas to take Al Barr to the airport so he could fly home to attend the funeral of a close friend. Just north of Austin, Texas , the band’s tour bus was involved in a fatal accident when a pedestrian suddenly ran onto the highway in front of the bus, in what is believed by police to be a suicide. Ken Casey said that “the band is pretty shaken up and don’t want to talk about the situation, especially since they don’t even know if the family has been notified yet”. The band’s bus was badly damaged and their driver was too upset over the tragedy, leading the band to cancel their Tulsa performance. The two acts scheduled to open for the band gave a free show for the fans in Tulsa at a different venue. In 2015, Ken Casey started Murphys Boxing promotion and served as a corner man for boxers such as Danny O’Connor (once ranked one of the top 15 boxers in the world) and Spike O’Sullivan .
