Traduza\\ Tuesday Marks Anniversary Of AVENGED SEVENFOLD Drummer's Death

Tuesday (December 28) marks the one-year anniversary of the death of AVENGED SEVENFOLD drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan, who was found dead in his Huntington Beach, California home at the age of 28. AVENGED frontman M. Shadows urged fans to celebrate The Rev's life and not his death.

"It's a daily struggle since Jimmy's death," he told Kerrang! magazine. "There are good days and bad days — days where you don't think about it so much, and then there're days where you sit there and just can't believe it. We're just trying to move forward and live our lives as best we can, and we're just happy to be here right now.

"We're going to celebrate his birthday [February 9] and not necessarily his death," he added. "But I think I'll want to get together [with the rest of the band] and watch his tribute video and talk about him. We do that every day anyway, but [today] I just want to keep it chilled and remember the guy for how fucking awesome he was."
