Jimmy Sullivan, known to many as The Rev, died in his house in Huntington Beach on December 28. He was 28 years old.
For those who don't know who he is, he was the drummer for metal band Avenged Sevenfold. The Rev was known to many as "one of the greatest metal drummers of all time". He is known for his amazing talent in the studio and in concert. Currently, the causes of his death are "natural", but the toxicology is being performed on him to find out what killed him.
He was a great drummer and husband to his wife, Leana MacFadden. I can personally say that he was one of my influences in started to play. Avenged Sevenfold's music is exceptional and talented. He will be missed by the metal community. Rest in peace.
It's sad to see such a great drummer go. A7X is such a good band and if they do continue on playing it is going to be hard to find a drummer to fill his shoes. He was so young too. I wouldn't be surprised to find if he died of some drug abuse though, I mean lets be honest you generally don't die naturally at 28.
