May 3, 2007, 17 years ago
As previously reported, AFTER FOREVER guitarist Sander Gommans is currently taking a break from touring activities under doctor's orders following "spells of vertigo and debilitating black-outs, followed or preceded by a migraine." He has issued the following update:
"Hi everybody,Just wanted to let you know that I try to relax as much as I can, and with this kind of weather in Holland (very sunny) that's not difficult-). Yesterday I met my idol Jeff Waters of ANNIHILATOR and the rest of the band; it was a very special day for me. If you have the chance to visit them during their tour with TRIVIUM, go and check this awesome band out!!!
Unfortunately, no news yet when I'd be able to joinn After Forever again or be able to work on HDK again, but I just wanted to thank all of you for the blog comments/PM's/mails and postcards, I really appreciate it!
Next week, I'll try to answer your PM's again, sorry it took a while. Take care and be sure I'll be reading all the messages you leave."
Greets!
Sander
