The band, consisting of siblings Kimberly, Neil, and Reid Perry, decided to pay for all expenses. A family friend told CNN>/a> “I don’t know why The Band Perry reached out to the family other than they are just very gracious. The family doesn’t have any personal connection to the band before now.”
The fire was ruled an accident. Kentucky State Police Trooper Stuart Recke told
LA Times>/a> that “an electric baseboard heater ignited nearby combustible material.”
