Pop hop duo LMFAO had to stop a show in Honduras early over the Christmas break after the venue they were performing at caught fire, very possibly because of arson.

According to local media, LMFAO were close to the end of their set when smoke started to fill the auditorium of the Coliseo Nacional de Ingenieros. One half of the duo, Redfoo, initially made light of his show’s abrupt ending, telling his Twitter followers “Epic concert tonight! Everybody in Honduras, we set the place on fire!”

But, possibly having realised the fire was a little more serious that he originally thought – with, according to TMZ, at least fifteen people being treated for smoke inhalation – he later tweeted slightly more sombrely: “On a serious note, hope everybody is safe from the fire tonight! Love you Honduras!”

TMZ says that local police reckon a “criminal hand” may have been responsible for the fire.
