As Everything Unfolds Address Future After Drummer’s Death

As Everything Unfolds have taken some time to mourn the death of drummer Jamie Gowers (seen at far left above) and the group has announced plans to continue with their tour plans this fall.

In a statement, the band explained, “We just wanted to check in to say thank you for your love and support through what has been the hardest thing we have ever had to go through. It has been beautiful to see what Jamie has meant to all of you and the outpouring of love for him has truly been overwhelming.

“Through much conversation and consideration we have chosen to continue to join Bury Tomorrow, Make Them Suffer and Thornhill on tour in November. They have all been incredibly understanding and we can’t thank them enough.

“We are under no illusion that this is going to be difficult, different and new for us, but this is what we love and we hope it will be part of the healing process. It will never feel normal to not have Jamie alongside us and it won’t be something we get over. It will just be something we have to learn to live with.

“This is still incredibly raw, and in the coming months we will be experiencing a lot of situations for the first time, so we please ask you for patience and understanding as we try and navigate a way through all of this – With love and thanks – Charlie, Adam, Jon and George.”
