Verfasst von metalsteini am
Im Alter von 58 Jahren verstarb bereits am 25.11.10 SAINT VITUS-Gründungsmitglied Armando Acosta. Die Band hat nun ein Statement zu Armandos´Tod veröffentlicht:
„It is with great regret that we announce a great loss to the world of heavy metal with the passing of former SAINT VITUS drummer Armando Acosta.
Armando's last show with SAINT VITUS was April 29, 2009 in Stuttgart, Germany.
Armando had been struggling with health issues over the years but came back into the VITUS fold for one last hurrah by headlining Roadburn in 2009 and playing a handful of European dates directly after the festival.
Henry Vasquez replaced Armando Acosta in 2009, making his debut on the main stage at Hellfest. The December 2010 SAINT VITUS tour will be dedicated to our old friend, Armando Acosta.
R.I.P., brother!!!"
