Am gestrigen Montag wurde der BAYSIDE Drummer John "Beatz" Holohan bei einem Verkehrunfall mit dem Bandbus tödlich verletzt. Bassist Nick Ghanbarian liegt mit schweren Verletzungen im Krankenhaus, auch einige Crewmitglieder wurden verletzt. Anthony und Jack entkamen dem Unglück unverletzt.

Tony Brummel vom Label VICTORY RECORDS hat folgendes Statement abgegeben: "John Beatz was an integral part of Victory’s Artist Family. He was a gifted, caring and special human being. He epitomized that NYC, street-smart, rock musician flair in everything he did. As a Chicago guy, I always felt like I was communicating with a brother from another neighborhood on the other side of one big city. He made the music. I got it into the stores and helped make people aware that it existed.

John was the type of Artist that I always wanted to fight for. He was appreciative and wanted to win not only for himself, but, more importantly, for the team. His phone calls and daily e-mail updates were always a reminder as to why I am in this business. I will miss them. Every time I heard from him he told me that he was “having the time of his life.” He played every show like it would be his last. None of us were ready for that show to end. The “Beatz” will go on and will never be forgotten."
