Latest Drum News
On June 29th popular Christian band Casting Crowns took to social media to ask their supporters to pray for their former drummer, Andy Williams, who was fighting for his life following a severe motorcycle accident. Williams’ accident took place on Sunday while on his way to church.
Williams was placed on a “ventilator with severe trauma to his body and brain,” the band disclosed. “The doctors have performed scans and are continuing to identify the trauma suffered.”
Unfortunately, on July 9th they took to Social Media again to announce that their former drummer, Andy passed away from his injuries.
Casting Crowns wrote on their Facebook account:
“Early this morning, around 1:00am, Andy Williams went to be with Jesus. He fought a great fight, but the injuries that he suffered took a toll on his physical body. You prayed along with us that Andy would be healed. You prayed along with us that Andy would wake up. You prayed along with us that God would perform a miracle. While we mourn that Andy isn’t here with us, and that we didn’t get to witness the miracle we longed for here on earth, all of our prayers were answered. He is healed, he is awake and we believe that he is more alive today than he has ever been. We hold fast to Paul’s words that we look not to the things that are seen, but to those things that are unseen, for they are eternal. We celebrate that Andy is in the arms of his Savior and we are grateful for the memories and laughter that Andy brought to all who knew him. We can’t thank you enough for your prayers, support, and unending love. You have walked with us through this very difficult journey and we felt you there the entire way.
We love you so much and we thank you for the support. At this time the family has requested that you respect their time together and allow them to receive some much needed rest. Please hold off on reaching out with texts and phone calls for a few days.
Kelly, Aden, Asher, Mary Catherine”
