The band was involved in an accident.
Members of Adrenaline Mob released various statements on social media last Saturday regarding the accident that caused the death of Adrenaline Mob bassist David Zablidowsky, known by the nickname "David Z Rock".
The accident happened on Friday the 14th, when a truck slid off the road, colliding with a trailer and an Adrenaline Mob car that was on the shoulder due to a flat tire. The collision caused a fire that was brought under control by the fire brigade.
Vocalist Russell Allen said: “Yesterday I was involved in an accident that took the life of my dear friend and bandmate David Z Rock and left 3 members of our crew in critical condition. I am overflowing with sadness. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love I have received from around the world. Please continue to pray for David’s family during these difficult times. And for those who are in critical condition. I want to personally thank Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick Dumon for his courage in helping me pull our driver Jason from the wreckage and for attending to him. And for helping me attend to Jason when I managed to pull her away from the fire. Without his courage, I would not have been able to pull them away from the cars before they were consumed by the flames. On behalf of my band and crew, I thank you .
Mike Orlando released the following message:
“I don’t even know how to begin to thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I’m trying to process all of this and deal with it physically and mentally… so I apologize for being vague… We literally saw hell on earth… I’m devastated both physically and mentally. I love you Dave, I will miss you more than words can express. You were one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever known .
Jordan Cannata also released a message:
“Hi everyone. I don’t even know where to begin so I’ll start by saying thank you all for the love and support. We are devastated and will need some time to adjust physically and mentally, but the outpouring of love has been very inspiring. David Z… I love you, I will miss you and I send my heartfelt condolences to your family and friends. To the rest of the band and crew, I love you all. Please keep everyone involved in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you all. RIP David Z.”
