Matthew Paulazzo, live drummer for The Zenith Passage, was injured in a serious car accident earlier this week. According to Paulazzo, he suffered a broken wrist, ankle, and pelvis with some minor internal bleeding after someone hit him driving on the wrong side of the highway. The other driver did not survive.
“Schtuff happens sometimes,” wrote Paulazzo. “So grateful to all my friends and family who have reached out the past 7 weeks. Im overwhelmed by the love…what a lovely dilemma to have. 🙂 My love to all of you. Lucky to scoot away with a broken wrist, ankle, and pelvis with some minor internal bleeding. I was hit head in by a fella on the wrong side of the road with no headlights on the highway…sadly he did not survive. I hope above all he has found peace. Getting back in my feet with lots to get done. See yall soon!”
The Zenith Passage will hit the road for the Chaos & Carnage tour this coming week with drummer Max Sepulveda.
“Our good buddy Matthew Paulazzo was involved in a pretty horrific car accident which, unfortunately, is hindering him from playing with us on Chaos & Carnage,” wrote The Zenith Passage. “Thankfully Matt will be making a full recovery and we’re just grateful for his health and ability to bounce back and get on the kit soon!
“With that being said, we’d like to introduce you to Max Sepulveda who’s stepping up to play for The Zenith Passage on C&C and has been busting his ass getting everything to [100 percent]. Here’s Max absolutely ripping Divinertia II. Real stoked to get out there with Max and shred!! See you all soon!”
