AFTER FOREVER Guitarist Issues Health Update

December 11, 2007

Guitarist Sander Gommans of the Dutch symphonic metallers AFTER FOREVER — who suffered a seizure on November 30 while en route to a gig — has issued the following update:

"Just a little update about me, though I can't give you any clear information about my health right now. I feel OK, but fatigued, and the doctors still don't know what caused the attack so more tests are in order. Since it could still be related to the burnout, I have to try to take it easy again, which is of course extremely frustrating.

I'm sure I cannot do the upcoming gig and I can't tell you when I'll be performing again. I guess I'll just have to be patient.

"We decided that AFTER FOREVER will still do the December gigs, with some special features. Go and and check them out, I'm sure it'll be great and I'll try to attend some gigs too. Hope to see some of you there!"

In other news, AFTER FOREVER singer Floor Jansen's sister Irene will perform with the band at select shows in the coming weeks. A video message from Irene regarding her collaboration with AFTER FOREVER can be viewed below.
