Adrenaline Mob Vocalist Russell Allen Addresses Tragic Crash

Russell Allen, vocalist for Symphony X and Adrenaline Mob, has releases a statement addressing the latter band’s tragic traffic accident this past Friday, July 14. The incident, the details of which can be found here, resulted in the death of the band’s bassist, David Zablidowsky, and left six people — Allen included — seriously injured. Last we heard, three of those six were still being treated.

Allen’s statement is as follows:

“Yesterday I was involved in an accident that took the life of my dear friend and band mate David Z Rock and left 3 of our crew in critical condition. I’m overwhelmed with sorrow. I am so grateful for the out pouring of love we have received from around the world. Please continue to pray for David’s family during this difficult time. And those in critical condition. I want to personally thank Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick Dumon for his bravery in assisting me pull our Driver Jason from the wreckage and for attending to his wounds. And for helping me to secure and attend to Jane once I was able to get her free from the fire. Without his selfless act of courage I would not have been able to get them clear of the RV before it was engulfed in flames. On behalf of my band and crew I thank you.”

More news as it develops.
