Rest in Peace JIMMY “THE REV” SULLIVAN
Avenged Sevenfold posted the following on their blog today:
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
Best Wishes go out to Avenged Sevenfold, and their friends and families.
I was in FYE the other day and looked right at their CDs and wondered when a new album would be coming… Must be synergy, in my thoughts and prayers. What bothers me is that this is the second California death in as many months where someone so young and talented was taken by “natural causes.” I really believed these guys were the future of metal… dark yet fun. I hope the band can find a way to carry on in light of this tragedy. R.I.P.
I had the honor of seeing “The Rev” and Avenged twice and I know that 28 years is far too short of time for this young man to achieve all that he was meant to do. Being a fan and fellow drummer watching “The Rev” was a show in itself. My thoughts and prayers to his family and bandmates. RIP James, you will be greatly missed.
This is a complete shock. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family/friends of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan and to Avenged Sevenfold.
R.I.P. He was one of the greatest drummers of all time and was in the greatest band ever, A7X
R.I.P. Rev you will be missed and remebered.
