According to Western Mass News, the plane is a Gulfstream IV jet which took off around 10:50 AM, ET, from a small New Jersey airport on Tuesday morning. The pilot reportedly realized that two tires had been blown following takeoff and immediately began circling the New Jersey airport before being ordered to divert to Massachusetts to use up more fuel.
The jet was originally headed to London Luton Airport in England, but has since been diverted to Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts. It’s unclear who else is on the plane, aside for Malone.
According to Daily Star, Malone was heading to Luton Airport in London for the Reading & Leeds festival, where he is set to perform this weekend.
Emergency crews are reportedly standing by at Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport for the emergency landing.
