In the video, Wilson was lying in a hospital bed as medical staff treated the wounds on his face and arms. “Hi everybody, I had an explosion in my face. I’m OK, I’m going to be OK. But I did have some serious burns to my face and my arms,” he told the camera.

The DJ said he was getting his chest X-rayed to ensure he had not inhaled flames from the fire, and showed off his singed eyebrows and moustache, his blistered mouth and arms. “I’m going to be all right you guys. I don’t care what it takes, I will see you on tour,” he said.
