There has been a tragic loss. Bayside was in a terrible accident this morning while driving to today's concert on the "Never Sleep Again" Tour, which includes their friends and label mates Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein and Aiden. Their drummer John "Beatz" Holohan was killed when their van flipped after hitting a patch of ice outside of Cheyenne, WY. Their bass player Nick Ghanbarian was also seriously injured. Anthony and Jack have thankfully been discharged from the hospital. Members of the band's crew also remain hospitalized.

Tonight's show in Salt Lake City is cancelled. An announcement regarding the rest of the tour will be made later today.
