Black Breath’s Drummer on Getting Hit by a Car: “I still can’t walk or do much of anything”

by Ryan Minic | Jan 16, 2014

Remember how Black Breath drummer Jamie Byrum got hit by a car last week?

After a week in the hospital getting fixed for a leg broken in four places, he’s doing alright.

“I still can’t walk, or do much of anything and am currently locked in at my house as I can’t get down my steps! Friends, feel free to stop by anytime, I’m not going anywhere. The next couple months all I have planned is recovering and playing guitar. We have an album to write and I got all the free time so let the fun begin. Would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the friends and family that have had my back through this fiasco. As well as anyone else sending some PMA my way.”
