Bayside Drummer Killed In Highway Accident
Touring the U.S. on their Never Sleep Again Tour, Bayside were involved in a fatal accident. While driving outside of Cheyenne, Wyoming the van hit an icy patch of road and proceeded to flip over. The accident claimed the life of drummer John "Beatz" Holohan and seriously injured bass player Nick Ghanbarian.
They band were touring with labelmates Hawthorne Heights, Aiden and Burlington, Ontario's Silverstein.
Not all band members were harmed — Anthony Raneri and Jack O'Shea have been discharged and did not sustain major injuries. Crew members have been hospitalized, but are expected to recover.
The accident is obvious reason for cancellation of the show that was scheduled to take place in Salt Lake City on Monday and an announcement regarding the rest of the tour will follow shortly.
Donations can be made to John's family through John Holohan Bayside Memorial Fund,
and also by purchasing The John Holohan Memorial Tee.
