SEVENDUST: 'We Feel Blessed To Have Known And Loved DARRELL'

December 11, 2004

SEVENDUST have issued the following statement in regards to the tragic death of DAMAGEPLAN/ex-PANTERA guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott:

"We have lost a dear friend and the world has lost an incredible musician. Our prayers are with Vinnie and the rest of the Abbott family.

"Words cannot describe the sorrow we and countless others feel over this tragic loss. The many memories of the times we've spent with Darrell will be cherished forever and he will never be forgotten. He and his brother have been more influential to us as a band than any other. We would not sound the way we do if it had not been for them. Many other bands can say the same.

"To know your idols and have them as friends is a rarity and we feel blessed to have known and loved Darrell.

"Due to this tragedy, we cancelled last night's show in Jacksonville, N.C. and the radio station having known the details of Darrell's death should have understood. We were in no shape to perform. Not to mention the venue had not supplied proper insurance.

"We apologize to our friends in Jacksonville and regardless of how Rock 105.5 feels about our decision, we hope that you understand. This tragedy has helped put our lives and the lives of our loved ones in perspective.

"We love you and be careful."
