The Ghost Inside post update

2016-01-28 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 21 Comments
Members of The Ghost Inside have posted more news on their recovery after the horrific bus crash in November which claimed the lives of both drivers and left the band in serious conditions.

Aside from drummer Andrew Tkaczyk losing his right leg, guitarist Zac Johnson has lost two toes as a consequence of his injuries, and eight surgeries on his feet, legs and hips. News on the other members of the band have yet to be fully disclosed to the public, however, a fundraiser to help the band with the costs of their medical bills has so far surpassed $150,000 while Epitaph Records are forgoing their share of money from sales of the band's music, with all profits going direct to the band.

More information and links to donate to the band can be found here (warning: this article contains graphic images which some readers may find distressing):

Edit - to clarify, the above link contains images of Zac's foot after the amputation, and as such it is recommended anyone who does not wish to see a severed foot, does not click on the link.

Seriously wasn't prepared for that photo. Be warned, seriously NSFW


Hope everything works out for them. Good on Epitaph for forgoing their cut to help them out.

Jesus fuck. You might need a bit stronger of a warning.

I would've thought that saying someone had their toes amputated and there's graphic pictures in the link would be enough of a warning for people to realise they're about to see a severed foot.

"My 5th toe was barely on my foot, didn't survive. 4th got infected. 3rd-5th toes were destroyed. Bones/vessels gone"

Looks like it'll heal to me.

yeah that is not a pretty picture. these guys really are lucky to be alive, and to have all the limbs necessary to keep doing what they love. i know the drummer lost a leg, but its still possible to play drums with one leg. really hope everyone comes out of this alright, this is one of those bands i listened to in high school that inspired me a lot. not like, musically but you know, life in general.

But seriously, this is such a horrific situation and the fact that these guys seem to be taking it in stride is honestly really amazing. Also, Gurewitz and Epitaph directly granting them any musical profits is an example of humanity that this industry rarely shows anymore.

Never been a fan of these guys but goddamn all this shit going on is heartbreaking. I can't give them enough respect for handling this better than most people would and taking it all in stride. Here's hoping they get back to what they love in due time

The fact that the drummer is certain he will play drums again tells me that he is at the very least remaining strong willed and I respect the hell out of that.

They are some of the nicest guys in the scene. Given all the scumbags that get away unscathed this is total bullshit.

Love their stuff. Good on Epitaph. I have a feeling that their next album will be amazing, there's no way you go through something like that and not make a great album XD
