FROM INTO ETERNITY:
With heavy hearts we say farewell to our long time friend and bandmate Adam Sagan. We have lost another brother to the scourge of cancer. Adam was far to young but brave beyond his years. We will miss you Adam and we will never forget the countless stages we shared and miles we traveled. Our hearts go out to your brothers and to your family. May you finally have found peace.


FROM JOSEPH MICHAEL (VOCALS/KEYBOARDS WITHERFALL):
It is with a heavy heart that I have to post this sad news; our brother and Witherfall Drummer Adam Sagan has Lost his fight with cancer... I'm not gonna go into details out of respect for his family, I'm sure are going through unimaginable grief at this time. Adam and i had been communicating on a daily basis as we were preparing to release the Witherfall record... I hadn't heard from him in a few days so i contacted a mutual friend. I feel like i have been hit by a truck. All he wanted was to beat this scourge and get back to doing what he loved: playing music. It fills me with dread to know he will not live to see this record released. Some people involved and responsible should feel extreme shame... I'm going to go and find a hole to drown in for a while...
If Adam Sagan has ever touched your life you can make a donation to help defray his final expenses...
