In Memoriam The Rev



Berdasarkan beberapa laporan beberapa situs berita amerika, drummer Avenged Sevenfold, James Owen Sullivan atau sering kita panggil The Rev dinyatakan meninggal kemarin tanggal 28 Desember 2009 di rumahnya. Penyebab kematiannya belum begitu jelas karena saat berita ini dirilis masih terjadi kesimpang siuran berita.

Hal tersebut sangat menyentak seluruh anggota Avenged Sevenfold lainnya karena saat ini masih dalam proses pembuatan album baru seperti dalam pernyataan mereka di situs resmi Avenged Sevenfold. Bagi para pengemar Avenged Sevenfold ini juga merupakan suatu pukulan yang sangat telak.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy’s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Jimmy you are forever in our hearts.

We love you.

M Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance and Johnny Christ

Semoga The Rev tenang di alam sana dan yang jelas bakal sulit tergantikan.

Pesan dar keluarga The Rev :

Keluarga James “The Rev” Owen Sullivan mengucapakan terima kasih kepada seluruh fans Avenged Sevenfold terutama fans The Rev atas simpatinya. Itu turut membantu keluarga mengurangi kesedihan karena mendapat dukungan dari banyak orang

We would like to thank all of Jimmy’s fans for the heartfelt comments that have been posted – it is comforting to know that his genius and antics were appreciated and that he was loved so much. Our hearts are broken – he was much too young to fall.
