FROM LAMBGOAT: 

 

Andy Williams (Atomic Rule, ex-Every Time I Die) is currently in the hospital after collapsing at a pro-wrestling match in Pittsburgh, PA on September 4.

He was treated by medical personnel on site and has since been transferred to a medical facility.

Organizers Enjoy Wrestling commented: "Andy collapsed at the end of his match this evening. Our doctors on staff tended to him immediately, administering CPR until the ambulance arrived. We sent everyone home and are at the hospital now waiting for more information. Thanks to everyone who helped and has reached out"

 

FROM BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME: 

 To some, he was the Butcher. To others, the big scary looking guitarist of ETID with the crazy mustache. But for the past 27 or so years, to us, he was just Andy Williams. Full name, always. Perhaps it was a way of avoiding confusion with any other “Andy”, but I think it was actually our own little unwritten rule to ensure the mythological scope of his foreboding physique and magnetic personality were properly respected. He lived so much life in his 48 years, but he deserved so much more time. And we all deserved more time with him. More riffs, more wrestling matches, more jokes, more conversations about “nasty riffers”, guitars and gear. The world deserved more Andy Williams. He is a legend. A folk hero. Our very own Paul Bunyan. No one in our world will ever stop talking about Andy Williams. And that’s the closest thing to immortality anyone could hope for. Our heart breaks for his family and those who were closest to him, particularly his wife Hana, who adored him beyond words. RIP to one of the nastiest riffers of all time, Andy Williams. Full name, always.
