Avenged Sevenfold drummer found dead at home

Avenged Sevenfold drummer James Owen 'The Rev' Sullivan was found dead in his Huntingdon Beach home yesterday (December 28) at approximately 1pm PST. He was 28 years old.

The Orange County Coroner's Office is currently investigating his death, but at this stage it is thought Sullivan died of natural causes.

"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan," reads an official statement from the band. "Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy’s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time. Jimmy you are forever in our hearts. We love you."

Kerrang!'s thoughts are with Sullivan's friends and family at this sad time.

This is possibly the worst news in the world to wake up to. Jesus Christ, twenty-eight years old. Jimmy is one of the best drummers I've ever heard, a living legend. I never got the chance to see Avenged Sevenfold in concert, and my thoughts are with them and his wife at this time.

R.I.P., Jimmy; all those stallion ducks up there must be running for their lives.

Absolutely gutted to hear this. Shame that such talent was taken from us before he'd even hit the 30 mark. Rest In Peace, James Owen Sullivan/The Reverend Tholomew Plague. Keep rocking it up with the big guy, Jimmy, and know that so many people are thinking of you.

im so shock and cant believe this has happend, only 28 and a whole rock&roll life ahead of him! such a unfair loss, but i hope someone is looking after him, i still think God has some answering to do!? love to his family and friends and of course Avenged!

Just read the sad news & am now sitting at my desk at work, trying not to cry & failing miserably.

I love the Avenged guys so much & just can't believe he's gone. I'm just so glad I got to see him in the flesh last year with the rest of the band.

My thoughts are with his family, the rest of the guys & all who hold him so dear in their lives.

You were an Idol to many Jim, your death is a complete shock.

I'll admit I shed a tear hearing this news, a7x are my favourite band and this has ripped me up inside.

I don't even want to think of Avenged Sevenfold without Jimmy, It wont be the same, It'll never be the same.

I don't even know what to say.

Jimmy was the best drummer that I've ever come across and I don't know how A7X can be anything without him. He was such a base for the band and his talent showed through every song they worked on.

He was a legend and I will never ever forget him or his amazing personality and talent.

Rest in peace, James "Jimmy" "The Reverend Tholomew Plague" Owen Sullivan. You will be missed by many.

This is so messed up. I was an Avenged fan for a few years and saw them 6 times. They were my idols and Jimmy was the last member of the band that I truly respected. He was one of my heroes.

Rest in peace Jimmy. I love you man and i'm not ashamed to admit that i'm shedding tears for you right now. I'm sure heaven won't know whats hit it.

We'll never forget you Rev.

i love you man! all my drumming is for you!xxxxxxx rest in peace dude <3.
i just hope your up there, rockin out afterlife or something man, cya soon.

What an absolute legend. His talent and music touched so many lives that i guess we can take comfort in knowing he will live on in the iTunes libraries of people with actual taste. All of our generations icons are dying which just shows that life is just one fucking thing after another and there is no point trying to make sense of the utter random chaos of the universe.
My thoughts are with his family and the remaining members of the truly iconic band a7x.

I can't imagine the hurt that the guys & girls of Avenged are going through right now..

Jimmy was the best drummer that I've ever seen, he's irreplaceable, I don't see how the guys can be anything without him if I'm honest. He had talent, and he had millions of it, it showed on every track.
He was a legend & I'll never forget him, I'm sure all the other fans out there will say the same.

My thoughts & wishes are with the guys & girls.. and of course his family.

Rest in peace, Jim. We all love you bud, and we're all gonna miss you like crazy.

Im crying as I type. This is just such a shock. Avenged sevenfold are one of my favourite bands ever and his death is devasting for me and probably alot of other fans. 2 days after Christmas aswell. He was a truely magnificent drummer and his contribution to avenged sevenfold will never be forgotten. Best wishes to the rest of the band, his wife and his family. Stay strong. And I totally agree with Ade, Kerrang BETTER do a piece on him. He was amazing.

Rest in peace. x

From a long time fan- The world has lost a true free thinker, an amazing musician and a wondeful guy with an enormous heart. He was only scratching the surface of his potential. I hope the band carries on they way Jimmy would have wanted. My prayers are with the Sullivan family...as well as with the A7X family. RIP.

I cant beleive it, such an amazing drummer, and so young.
He is irreplacable in my eyes with A7X

This is the worst thing thats happened all year, he will always be loved by his fans.

Gone but never forgotten.

i can't believe it, it's just came out of nowhere
a7x will never be the same again, he was one of the best drummers in the world, and now i'm never going to get the chance to see him play live
i'm sure a7x will continue, but no matter what they do next there will always be something missing
i've only just become an a7x fan, and straight away they're become one of my favourite bands, this is partially because each member is extremely talented at what they do, especially jimmy
i'm sure he will go down is history

when i got an email from the rev fanpage on facebook, i thought it was a cruel joke. but since i found out its true i cant stop crying. avenged sevenfold are my favourite band and jimmy was an absolute inpiration to me. i completley idolised him as a musician and as a person. half of me cant take it in. but he will always live on thru his league of fans and thru avenged sevenfold. to me he shall always be a legend, i think a fitting tribute to him wud be for his friends to open the bar he always wanted. and for the band to eventually carry on, i think he would want that. jimmy my brother, when i look into the night sky u will be the brightest star shining down on us. RIP never forgotten, forever missed xxxx

I'm in complete shock over this. The last thing I knew about him was that he was perfectly well and that A7X were fine. How is it that he can just be found dead one day.

The Rev was one of the most best drummers in the world he will never be forgotten for that and his humourous antics that we all love as well.

But the good die young and Jimmy was one of the best.

My thoughts go out to all his family and friends, his wife and of course Avenged Sevenfold.

You will be greatly missed Jimmy

RIP THE REVEREND THOLOMEW PLAGUE!

I'm still in complete shock...I just can't fathom a world without Jimmy Sullivan's amazing, irreplaceable drumming talents. He was truly one of the world's greats, and he'll be missed dearly by all of his fans and friends, as well as his family. I feel so bad for his poor wife; she's got to be devastated. Rest in your own special little piece of heaven, Jimmy. Have fun with the stallion ducks.

As soon as I found this was confirmed, I looked up at the Avenged Sevenfold poster I got at the gig in 2008, and burst into tears, I'm honestly broken hearted, and I really can't get my head round this, especially after the news of Avenged Sevenfold being due to release a new album, and now this, I haven't stopped crying all day. The Rev did not deserve to die, and not at such a young age, I love him, and Avenged Sevenfold so much and he'll never be forgotten, and will forever be in my heart, R.I.P James Owen Sullivan

You inspired me, your whole band still inspire me. 28 is too young to day, way to young. You still how so much to show us, so much to say. I'm deeply saddened by the loss we have had in our music world.

Everyone, there's groups on facebook trying to get Afterlife to Number 1. I know it's a long shot, but we should at least try to get it into the charts. Download it off iTunes, Play, Amazon, whatever you can, even if you already have it. Let's show some respect and love for Jimmy, it's the least we could do. Even if we don't get it to Number 1, at least we tried.

Thank you for inspiring me. I am truly gutted that I will never get to tell you that in person. I can't seem to stop crying right now... RIP Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan, My thoughts are with A7X, your family, friends and all of the A7X fans right now. Your music will live on, even though you can't. xx

It's devastating to here about this sad loss. I saw A7X play in January last year and they blew me away at how amazing they were. The Rev was one of the best drummers around, and although he will a huge miss in the music industry, I hope A7X will overcome this.

I'm not an A7X fan at all, but this is sad.

RIP man, a big waste of talent there, as much as I didn't like the band he was a good drummer.

I found out yesterday morning, i went completely cold. It was the most awful news I'd heard since Heath Ledgers death.
He was no age at only 28 and he had so much potential. My heart is with the band and his family, friends and beautiful wife through this hard time.
At least he lived doing what he loved with the people he loved and will always be remembered for being such a legendary drummer. Forever and always my fav drummer x x x x x R.I.P

I couldn't believe it when i found out. He was such an awesome guy with an amazing sense of humour and he died so young :'(

I managed to not cry too much yesterday when i found out but then I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 came on shuffle and i just broke down.

I love you Jimmy. You were and will always will be my favourite drummer of all time.

Can't believe he's gone. He was so young, not his time to go yet.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and bandmates, and also his fans who will miss him so much.

It's true that God only takes the best.

as for shit band and shit drummer, its your opinion, but theres no need to post that on a page where people are putting their tributes to jimmy

finally, actually being happy somebodies dead? thats fucking messed up, hes someones son, husband, friend and was respected by thousands, do you want people reacting like that when you die? i doubt it, so just fuck off and don't disrespect someones who recently died, at such a young age on a page with fans that will argue back,

When i got invited to a group on facebook saying RIP The Rev, i thought it was just another sick joke that people make up, saying people are dead when they're not.. but when more and more people were saying it.. it finally sank in.. :/ me and my band member sat and talked about Jimmy all night, all his funny quotes from videos, but that's the rockstars life isn't it, you get the fame and die young. It's such a tragedy, i hope A7X keep on playing, even tho it'd be nearly impossible to replace him.. RIP Jimmy, my thoughts to his family and the other members of Avenged :/

im worried about that too proberbly like many of a7x's fans but many bands have lost tallented, loved members in the past just like The Rev but they have carried on. for instance Metallica and Led Zepplin. i hope they can find a replacement though. The Rev is proberbly up there now rockin out with oth rockstars who have died traggicly in the past like Dimebag Darrel. R.I.P The Rev. we'll miss you dude. condolenences to his family, friends and the band.

Completely heartbroken.
Rest in peace, Jimmy.

A7X will never find a drummer like him, not that they'd what to anytime soon.
If I'm devastated I can't begin to think what it's like for his friends and family...
My heart and thoughts are with them.
God bless you Jimmy :'(

I'm really sad and still in shock that one of the best drummers in the world has died so young. He inspired many young people to start drumming and I am one of those people. I dont think A7X will ever find another drummer like the rev ever. My heart is with A7X at this very difficult time.
God Bless you Jimmy.

I cant believe that this has happened, he was an amazing drummer and didnt deserve to leave the world so young. i wish he could escape from the afterlife.

I was truly devastated when i heard the news Jimmy had passed away. My thoughts go out to his friends, family and of course the other guys in Avenged Sevenfold. I just hope the guys can pull through this together and keep the band on course, although their will never be another Drummer for the band like Jimmy.

Rest in peace man, and rip the shit out of the Afterlife, You'll be the coolest motherfucker up there (: xxx

And i agree with other peoples posts, there really does need to be some sort of programme remembering him, i think it's quite bad that there hasn't been anything on kerrang for him yet. So keep that in mind please?

Jimmy was an amazing drummer and he'll never be replaced. Whatever happens to the band next is probably for the best, and he'll always be remembered. We love you, Jimmy. <3

& To Scenester Gates,
Get lost. Really, not everyone here is pre-teen, I'm 16. And as a matter of fact Avenged Sevenfold have millions of fans across the world of different ages, and your comments are just disrespectful towards death, and to Jimmy and the band, as well as the fans. Personally, I think you're disgusting.

that was a really inappropriate thing to say, scenester. idk how old you are, but your 1st comment leads me to think you are older than a "pre-teen" yourself, & if that is the case you are old enough to know that it is wrong to poke fun at someone who just died & the people who are mourning him, especially if the dead guy has done nothing wrong to you! while every1 is entiled to their own opinions, there are times when you should just SHUT THE HELL UP! I know you're just spreading crap to get noticed, so here you go: We all noticed you & the fact that you are full of it! Sleep well knowing you are the most insensitive jackass to read this article today.

it's ok if you don't like avenged, but really it's not ok to tell every1 how much you hate the band on the same page as the news of one of the founding members tragic & untimely death!! c'mon ppl, thats just bad taste- find someplace more appropriate to discuss wether you did or didn't like the rev & his band!

To all the people who think that A7X is just for pre-teens hmmm let's examine that
A7X has fans all over the world of different ages for example -
My brother age 26, my mother age 45 , my father age 43, my best mates age between 17-22, my grandmother before she died at age 78, my grandfather b4 he died at age 88 and also my greatgrandma age 101
so if you guys that no-one above the age of 15 can support and love the awesomness that is A7X then just piss off and don't come back.

Finally Jimmy you will be forever remembered by your fans around the world hope somehow you can know this and smile about it, may you forever rock in Paradise...

I was really dissapointed that the latest Kerrang! mag didn't have a single word about Jimmy's passing. I think that his passing was a big deal. which left all Avenged Sevenfold fans devestated. He deserves the whole magazine dedacted to him, he was such a ledgend! All their backstage stuff makes me really sad now, he was a complete nutter, we all love him!

just read the sad news inside last weeks issue of kerrang,and the rev was a cool drummer with avenged sevenfold,and i dought that he could be easily be replaced by someone else who had the same talent as he did,and he was like a brother to the rest of the band,and he will be missed by everyone who knew him,and rest in peace my friend

I need to thank Avenged coz without them I wouldn't have the friends I have today. I moved house last October and didn't really have any proper friends until one day I spotted that a girl in my class had an Avenged bag. When I commented and said that I liked the band to she introduced me to the rest of her friend group and we've been good mates ever since.

Thanks a bunch guys,
RIP The Rev. We all loved him. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
