In Memoriam: John Holohan of Bayside (1974-2005)

Bayside drummer John "Beatz" Holohan was killed in a tragic accident this morning while the band drove to the next stop on the ongoing Never Sleep Again tour.

The van the band was travelling in flipped when it hit a patch of ice outside of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Bassist Nick Ghanbarian was also seriously injured and remains under observation at the hospital along with member's of the band's crew.

As a result, the next stop on the tour in Salt Lake City, Utah has been cancelled and a decision will soon be made as to the future of the tour.

A memorial fund has been established in John's name, and donations can be made here.

Our deepest condolences go out to John's family, bandmates and friends.
