| Unfortunately HELL WITHIN had to drop off from the ongoing tour with War Of Ages. On the first day of the tour in Portland Michigan, there was a mishap and Hell Within’s drummer (Brian “Bubba” Joyce) suffered a fractured hand. In an e-mail description of what happened, here’s a snippet of what was sent to Metal Force Management (Rep) from Tony Zimmerman (guitarist of Hell Within):
“We arrived at a Day’s Inn motel (in Portland Michigan), we were about to get a room, and we were taking the luggage out of the trailer. Some of the luggage fell behind a huge road case we use to carry all the drum hardware so we took the road case out to get to the luggage that fell in back. Bubba was inside the trailer, Isaias and I were outside. After getting all the luggage out, Isaias and I pushed the road case back into the trailer. Bubba was guiding it back in (the thing weighs about 200 or 300 lbs.). When Isaias and I pushed it back in, Bubba’s hand got caught between the road case and a speaker cab (we had to use some force to push the case in because it was heavy and going up the ramp into the trailer). Bubs put his hand next to the side of the road case to guide it in. The force from the push and the fact that he was in a small, poorly lit area, jammed his hand in between both the road case and the speaker cab and it ended up fracturing his hand. We spent the morning at the emergency room. The ER doctor told Bubba that he shouldn’t use his hand for at least 4 to 6 weeks. He’s on pain killers, his arm is in a sling, and we’re heading home with copies of his x-rays to give to his family doctor. This sucks because the show in Michigan was really great, and the guys in War of Ages are very cool.” |
