Beyond The Pale hat geschrieben:
Dear metalheads, fans and friends,
It is with an extremely heavy and broken heart that we announce the passing of our friend and guitarist Jeroen van Donselaar. He was one of the founding fathers of Beyond the Pale and rightfully so created what we like to call ‘JeroenMetal’ as a genre.
He will forever be remembered as a kind, loving, wonderful guy with a heart of gold.
We would like to thank everyone who did their utmost best in trying to save his life.
On April 27, halfway through our debut show, Jeroen suddenly collapsed. He died from cardiac arrest doing what he did best: Delivering razor-sharp riffs on stage with a huge smile on his face.
Jeroen was 50 years old. He is survived by his wife and their two children.
This Saturday, April 30, there will be a get-together at dB’s venue in Utrecht from 3pm until 6pm, to be there for each other and, more importantly, to celebrate Jeroen’s life, including his passion for music.
We kindly ask you to respect the privacy of the family and of the band.
- Frank, Janneke, Boudewijn & Johnny
