Jimmy Sullivan, Avenged Sevenfold Drummer Dead at 28
By Theresa




The latest celebrity casualty is Jimmy Sullivan, Avenged Sevenfold Drummer found dead at 28. What happened? Right now all the information available was that he died of natural causes.











Natural causes only rules out murder, it does not verify in any way the manner or reason for death. So, basically there was no foul play suspected but it leaves a whole other realm of possibilites. Of course the first thing people think of are drugs. Not always the case.


James Owen Sullivan was found dead at his California home on Monday. Huntington Beach police Lt. John Domingo reported that paramedics responded to Sullivan’s home at 1:00 p.m. and they notified police. The Orange County Coroner’s office is investigating the death.

However when someone dies this young and so suddenly drug abuse does cross the mind of everyone. Of course we’ll have to wait for the toxocology reports. Losing Jimmy Sullivan is a shame though. He was an amazingly talented drummer and back up singer.

Sullivan also played many different instruments, mostly the piano and guitar, and he used these abilities to write amazing songs such as “A Little Piece of Heaven.”

Sullivan was best known as ‘The Rev’ and drummer for Avenged Sevenfold that was formed in 1999. The five-man group has put out four albums and won Best New Artist at the 2006 MTV Awards.

Back in 2002 Sullivan performed vocals and piano in his and Brian Haner Jr.’s side project, Pinkly Smooth. Before leaving to join Avenged Sevenfold, Sullivan performed with the third wave ska band Suburban Legends as their drummer.

The band has posted a statement on their website:

JIMMY “THE REV” SULLIVAN
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy’s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Jimmy you are forever in our hearts.
We love you.
M Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance and Johnny Christ

He's not just a random celebrity...
He's one of the worlds best drummers and songwriter.
He's funny without even trying to be.
He is a better musician than Michael Jackson was without a doubt.
