The Ghost Inside Drummer Loses Leg

Following a horrific bus crash in El Paso last November, all four of The Ghost Inside‘s members have been left with varying degrees of terrible injuries. Unfortunately, their drummer Andrew Tkaczyk has now confirmed that he lost his leg after emerging from a 10-day coma. The extent of his injuries has been detailed in an Instagram post below.

A GoFundMe campaign has been started to help pay for the band’s medical bills, and you can donate to it here. The drivers of both buses involved in the collision unfortunately lost their lives.

So the rumors are true everyone! Unfortunately I did lose my leg in this accident. This is one injury among many others such as fractures in my ribs, spine, and hip along with some ligament tears in my rotator cuff and Labrum. I have remained in positive and good spirits since I woke up from a 10 day coma in November to the sight of my missing leg. Not going to let it stop me. I don’t care what anyone says. It’s a long road ahead, but I WILL play drums again. Can’t wait to get back on the kit. Couldn’t have dealt with this without the love and support from my brothers in TGI & crew, friends, fans and family. Thank you all ❤️
