The rockers were jetting from Munich, Germany, to Warsaw in Poland when their aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing when a lightning bolt hit the plane just ten-minutes after take-off.

And the terrifying ordeal has left the band spooked.

Frontman Luke Pritchard tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, 'There was a loud crash, like someone had smashed plates, and everyone was jolted. I saw the lightning hit the side of the plane. Scary stuff, man.'

But the incident hasn't put the group off flying for good - the foursome caught a later flight to Warsaw.
