As reported on October 15th, Opeth bassist Martin Mendez and keyboardist Per Wiberg were involved in an accident when the band's tour bus struck a car when heading from Dublin to Brussels. Mendez, Per Wiberg and the rest of Opeth's crew were unhurt in the accident.
Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt issued the following:
"More non-uplifting news! I just got a text from Mendez who saying that the driver of the other car (who made the U-turn) that our bus crashed into, sadly passed away from his injuries. On top of that it seems as if it was a deliberate death-stunt from his side as the police had found a suicide-letter in the car-wreck.This is just getting more odd and scary I tell ya.
I've no idea who he was but I have to say our condolences goes out to his family and loved ones anyways either though we don't have a name at this point.
I'm kinda lost for words here."
