Avenged Sevenfold Drummer Toxicology Results

Britne — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:19:56 +0000

Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, drummer for Avenged Sevenfold, died on December 28, 2009 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and alcohol. The toxicology report recently released indicates that oxycodone(a painkiller), oxymorphone(similar to morphine), diazepam/nordiazepam(anxiety medications) and ethanol(intoxicant in alcohol) were in his system. Cause of death, acute polydrug intoxication due to the combined effects of all these substances. He also had an enlarged heart which more than likely played a role in his death.

Avenged Sevenfold has a new album, Nightmare, due to be released July 27th. The Rev was co-writing on the album at the time of his death. A summer tour, Rockstar Energy Uproar festival, which starts August 17th will feature one of The Rev’s favorite drummers, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater.

We had the opportunity to see Avenged Sevenfold at Ozz Fest a few years back and they were awesome. The Rev will be missed by all his fans. A truly amazing drummer.

In 2007, the first year for the festival, 30,000 people attended. In 2008 that number increased to 55,000. I would expect that number to be even higher in 2009 with the announcement of some of rock’s biggest artists in the lineup.

ROTR is also featuring an on-line recycling trade-in program this year in effort to “Go Green”. Fans can recycle their old cell phones and MP3 players for “swag bucks” which can be used to earn free tickets and ROTR memorabilia and offcial festival merchandise. The program also allows you to earn “swag bucks” for searching the internet using their toolbar, shopping on the net and referring friends. For more information go to the rotrgogreen info page.

This lineup looks awesome!! Hopefully we’ll make it to the festival this year. If you go, please let us know all about your ROTR experience!!
