The US musician, 47, announced the news by sharing an Instagram video from his hospital bed, as he assured fans that he would be “OK”.
In the Instagram 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.
He posted a follow-up video while being transferred to a more specialist facility, in which he assured fans he was doing “pretty good” and that he was in “good hands”.
He said that he sustained the injuries from the remnants of a bonfire which he had burned on his farm the night before.

His girlfriend Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of TV star Sharon and Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, also warned others about the dangers of burn piles in a video from his hospital beside.
“This is why you don’t f*** with burn piles. He literally set himself on fire, exploded everything,” she said, with a stressed expression on her face.
