AUTUMN'S END Drummer 'In A Fight For His Life'

January 29, 2007

Andrew Cox of Desert Core Management, which represents AUTUMN'S END (the Phoenix, Arizona-based metal band featuring former N17 guitarist Chris Cannella),has issued the following update:

"On January 27, 2007 at 3:00 a.m., AUTUMN'S END's drummer Joe Kamka was hit by a drunk driver while on his motorcycle. Joey is in the fight for his life. The driver slammed his truck into the back of Joey which sent him flying into the windshield of the truck and then over it severing his brain stem, right ear and fracturing his skull. The doctors told us that he wouldn't survive and that if he did he'd be paralyzed from the neck down. Within 12 hours of the accident and after hours of surgery Joey lay hooked up to a respirator and barely concise he started to move is hands and feet. The doctors were speechless and unable to explain how he was doing this. Joey is as tough as the come. He is a machine. We know that he will pull through this and be back at his drum kit breaking cymbals and snapping sticks like nothing had happened. I ask all of you for you prayers and support. Please stop by the AUTUMN'S ENDMySpace page and give a 'horns up' for Joey."

AUTUMN'S END's sophomore album, "Act of Attrition", was released last year.
