Bayside Drummer Killed
Bayside drummer John “Beatz” Holohan, 31, was killed in what was apparently a one-vehicle accident early October 31 while traveling on the Never Sleep Again tour with Victory Records labelmates Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, and Aiden.
The tour had just finished an October 30 gig at Colorado’s Boulder Theatre and was on its way to Magna, Utah’s Great Salt Air for a Halloween show.
Bayside was driving through Cheyenne, Wyo., when its van skidded and flipped after hitting a patch of ice.
Bass player Nick Ghanbarian was seriously injured and remained hospitalized, as were some crew members, at press time. Bayside members Anthony Raneri and Jack O’Shea had been discharged from the hospital.The Never Sleep Again concerts scheduled for October 31 in Salt Lake City and November 1 in Boise, Idaho, have been canceled. The shows in Seattle and Portland may also be canceled or postponed.
The tour runs through December but it isn’t known if Bayside will participate.
